Then I also want to know what to do when a fan approaches and my son gets envious. Or when he sees me on TV. How do I explain that and make it normal? That's the most important thing to me. I don't want my child to have some weird, abnormal upbringing. I want him to feel like his life is normal, that his school is normal and his mommy and daddy just go to work. I don't want him surrounded by—and I hate to use Hollywood as a derogatory term—but I just want him to be a happy, healthy, well-adjusted kid.

As a health and fitness advocate, how does nutrition factor into your parenting?
I talk to Bob [Harper] and Jillian [Michaels] from The Biggest Loser about this all the time: "How do I help my son eat right? How do I help him develop a healthy metabolism?" I was raised with the "eat everything on your plate" mentality. That's not necessarily the right thing either. I'm not a big believer of sneaking vegetables into other foods. If I cook vegetables, Ben will eat them. Why? Because I said so. I'm the parent, he's the child and that's how it unfolds. I'm a little old-fashioned that way. Luckily, my husband and I think along the same lines.
