It's tough to stick to a diet when you're a parent. Just ask Emily Simpson. The Real Housewives of Orange County mama's days get so hectic, she's been known to eat her kids' leftover macaroni and cheese for dinner. Plus, there are all those cake pops within arm's reach.

Last week, Emily revealed that she's following a new diet plan to combat some recent weight gain. But eating clean is not always easy, especially when your dining companions are having sugary treats... and you're eating a hard-boiled egg. In an Instagram Story, Emily showed off that scenario, which many parents will find relatable.

Sitting across from her twin boys at a cafe, Emily held up her egg, which accompanied some fruit. "This is what Mommy's gonna eat," she said. Then, showing her sons holding up cake pops, she said, "This is what little munchkins have," adding, "Yours looks better."

Oh well. This egg doesn't look so bad, does it?
