 Re: Induction and Communion | |
Not accommodating your religious beliefs into your new lifestyle will do you more bad than having communion. Communion is not an excuse to cheat or to go on a binge. Quite the contrary -- it will give you more power to stay on track and to work towards a better health, both in a physical and in a spiritual sense.
I'm really not the most knowledgeable person on this topic, but from what I know that cracker is really tiny and so is the amount of wine you are given. Most people will not experience any cravings from them. But if you are worried about it, you can "fix" things by having some fat/protein snack afterwards.
Don't forget to count the carbs though.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
