DH not a good diet buddy

So I encouraged my husband to "diet", well just eat better, because he's started to get a beer belly. He's always been really skinny, but I think as he's getting older the food isn't being as friendly. I also want him to eat healthier in support of me and to show my son proper food habits.

There is no strict diet, just watch what you eat type of thing. He has whined and complained the whole time. During dinner last night we discussed how his eating habits effect mine and my son's. I think he understood.

Until tonight.

We had a normal dinner. We've even been trying to eat at the dinner table instead of in front the the TV. So far we've made it over a week. As I'm getting ready to go to bed around 10pm I walk into the kitchen and what do I see? My husband is making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Not 1, but 2!. These are not ordinary sandwiches either. He loads on the PB & J. I understand that sometimes you need a snack, but 2 sandwiches? Come on! I looked at him and he looked back at me knowing that this was not good.

I didn't get mad, but this was not good. I took one sandwich and bagged it up for him for lunch tomorrow. I know he wanted to eat it, but I tried to remind him that sometimes our eyes are hungrier than our stomach is.
