The challenge isn't really relevant to anything. I never signed on with the genuine thought that I'd win, it's simply a declaration that I'm going to "try" to do what I can to be a better me physically through diet and exercise. The better I do personally = the greater the odds of my kids learning better habits.
I don't know how old your kid is, but can you take your son to the gym\for a walk\basketball\ANYTHING?! If he's a teenager, you might have him be a lifting buddy OR you can ask him to be active "for you". Let him share in the experiance.
Diet = "just do better". You're making an attempt not to die early or create a situation where your kid dies early because you didn't teach him better. Don't worry about being perfect...just do better than you did yesterday.
Diet\exercise (or lack of) isn't really something that you quit on. It's how you choose to live your life every day. If you want to quit the challenge then that's your right, but you can't quit making decisions on what you're going to eat or how you spend your free time. Life isn't something that you can quit. Press on and do the best you can. Please consider your reasonings for wanting to take a more active control in the first place, and choose if it still matters or not.
