There is nothing to hide from him. Tell him frankly that he had to endure all this difficulties to lose his excess weight and somewhere it is this outdoor food that has contributed to his excess weight. He needs to understand that else when he will be alone he will not be able to make the right choice of food.

I think Koolgirl is right. I’m sure that he is going to understand. The thing is that he has to make the right choice of food on his own since you are not going to be with him each and every minute. So better give him good eating habits as from now itself.

Well dear there are some very good restaurants where you can still adopt healthy food.You can still go to eat at these restaurants.

Hello Sweetoo did you talk to your son? What was his reaction?

Really?? I have doubts on this. I think that all the restaurants are the same nowadays.

Come on dear,this is not true.I've even heard that in certain countries there are restaurants which are specialised for those who want diet menu.That a wonderful thing.We need just make the good choice.

Well dear,what have you done?Have you brought your son to a resto since he is back home?

Yes we are all eager to know whether you are still going for outdoor dinner or you have completely stopped. And what is your son’s reaction?

hi sweetoo. i'm guessing, because that's the way it's supposed to be, that they showed him what he is supposed and not supposed to eat when he was at the weight loss camp. in other words, they must have taught the kids the 'right' foods from the 'wrong' ones. so why don't you just gently remind him about all that and tell him you can still eat out but occasionally only and at specific places where you are sure you could order something pretty much healthy?
