ATKINS DIET

And STOP SHOUTING.

one way to make yourself feel guilty, which I hate doing, is going on Atkins and then deciding that you have ate too many carbs each day (even if it's below 20). So what if I had a jargermeister shot and two beers - that plus my dinner should have put me at <= 20 carbs - but no I have to beat myself up about it because when my dad does this diet, he only has <= 5 carbs the first 2 weeks (*even though 20 is the limit).

so once again I can't do anything right. my family tells me *no drinking* to this date.. and I have to constantly deal with failure because of things like this. this makes me sad. especially when I think I haven't drank enough for them to tell me I disappointed them. Drinking any alcohol will make my mom upset. I hate living in a family that has high standards which force me to live with disappointment every time I have a single beer. Man, I really need to move out as soon as I can get a job.

living in disappointment has to be one of the worst ways to live. (and that's the summary of my life growing up with my parents)
any of you have to come home to people who are disappointed in you all the time?
as soon as I get a job I'm moving out - unfortunately, looking for a job hasn't been easy. yet, it's the dissapointment that I can't handle... it takes a toll on you.

*especially when I think I haven't drank so much that my family shouldn't tell me I'm disappointed them.

Doesn't sound like a good situation. Is it the alcohol part that your folks are against, or is it the carbohydrate intake?
