[Crying and sweating oil] Help! I can ONLY have 75g of carbs PER MEAL! Oh, the agony! My father has been obese his entire adult life. As a child, I refused to touch him, talk to him, or even look at him - I was that disgusted (and still am now). After a hospital visit for inevitable obesity-related issues, he FINALLY started "dieting" (only because the doctor told him to). He still eats like a pig, but has lost at least 30lbs while doing absolutely nothing all day, just because his body needs that much energy to support all his blubber. I can't tell a difference.  Anyway, he's supposedly on a "low-carb" diet because he's at high risk for diabetes. Last night, he said to my mom, "Guess how many carbs in these tortilla (burrito) shells." I guessed 34 grams and was correct. Then he said, "I'm only allowed to have 75 grams per meal (teehee!)," and ate one. He's always complaining about not being able to eat carbs, but I suspect he's not aware that fruits and vegetables contain carbs? Sometimes he eats 2 bananas a day, thinking he's being all healthy. When he's not being "low-carb" like he's supposed to, he jokes about it. "Haha, not following my diet, might get diabetes or something, but ya know what, I love cake. Yummy." Dude. You're 50 years old. Grow up. TL;DR - I never had a real father figure in my life because a lard monster ate him.
