Following My Son’s Diet
What the french?
It occurrred to me today that I spend a good deal of my time nagging my family about what to eat, how much, and when. They don’t really listen, especially my Son. Which got me thinking…
My Son is 13. He eats bologna, mac and cheese, Chef Boyardee, pizza and giant bagels. He hates milk and only eats vegetables when I catch him trying to toss them in the trash. He sleeps in. He plays video games. He watches movies and sits down to play Chess with his phantom chess board or builds Magnetix. He sneaks and stashes candy and chips in his top bunk.
Why is this interesting? Because he is thin and lean with a ripped stomach and non stop energy. How can this be?
He not only eats MORE than me in quantity, but he eats things higher in calories and fat that I eat. AND he doesn’t loathe himself everyday until he does his Turbo Jam workout. The most exercise he gets during the day is starting up the Jeep and sweeping the snow off all the windows in the morning before school.
So I’m thinking about mirroring his diet for a spell. I’m hoping to be able to fit into my 7th grade jeans by summer.
