Pissed Off

I love my dad, but sometimes he says stupid things. I came home from a long day at work, and he asked me if I had dinner. I said I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is true. Then he made this face >>> :/ and said, "That's not very nutritional." 

o_O SERIOUSLY? 

I had my 2-3 grains, protein, and fat. I was eating carrots as we were talking as my veg and I was planning on having fruit later. That completely fulfills my meal plan from Remuda. 

His reply, "I guess so." 

Having a PB & J sandwich and KEEPING it was such a success for me. I felt guilty enough for having it when I could have had something "healthier." That comment just increased the guilt. Shouldn't my parents be happy I HAD calories, and enough to meet my meal plan? I understand my parents are on a diet and they have certain things they can/cannot eat, but I'm NOT on their diet. 

So now I'm just in a really bad mood. I didn't handle it well. Even though my treatment team would be incredibly proud of me and would tell me it's OKAY to have PB & J, I just can't believe it when the voice in my head AND my parents are saying the same thing.
