Something came to me while hearing the Easter message yesterday that I believe can relate to anyone of any faith.
Weight Watchers teaches moderation and exercising good judgment in our food choices just like our faith teaches the same in our life choices.
As I seek this holiday of Passover and Easter to observe the traditions of my faith, let me not forget that I can and should exercise good judgment and moderation in my food choices during this time and to do else wise is really not in accordance with my faith. Gluttony is not honorable in any walk of life.
Most of my favorite dishes can have substitution of fat-reduced and whole grains options that really do not affect the end quality of the dish. Yes it is a little more work to think about it and search for those sometimes difficult ingredients and it is effort to make a conscious decision to change my tired and true recipes, but in the long run is this not a better life choice for me? Is that not what my faith would have me do?
As I try to look for that whole wheat Matzah or that lean turkey ham, those low fat soups, and the fat-reduced cheeses and let me not forget that the holiday is a time to rejoice, reflect and renew my commitment to my Faith, to my God, and to my self…I can live better…I can eat better…I can, and I will…
