I was already planning on doing some progress pictures. That should be pretty fun. I am trying to prepare myself as well because we eat together as emotional eaters so I know that it is going to be hard for me too. I am hoping that his strict rules will help me to eat better too. He has a lot of weight to lose and so he hasn't been feeling very well for a long time. He is looking forward to enjoying life more and being able to do more things.
I think your idea of having some easy quick meals will be good. I have 3 kids here at home too so that may help not for them to eat in front of him.
