And what happens when you lose all the weight you need to?
reducing bodyfat, can this be offered up and considered a penance?

Oh certainly! I do this all the time. I have to maintain a stricter diet for health reasons, so it is beneficial to my body but that does not make it any easier. It's definitely a penance that I offer up. When I start slipping, Lent is a great time to pick it up strong again.

I have my first child coming, and i am controlling my calorie intake to 1500 calories a day so that i can lose bodyweight in anticipation of my child so i can be healthy. First of all, congratulations! I don't know much about pregnancy and diet but I am struggling with a diet @ the the moment (I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my OBGYN said losing weight is the only natural cure, I am not that overweight but middle of BMI scale is preferable, says she). I think anything good for you that is hard can and should be offered up as penance. The more we offer things up, the better our life will be. |
