I recently went on a very strict diet, one that requires me to pass up on most processed carbohydrates. Subsequently, whenever I go to the dinner parties that are a part of my social obligations, I find I'm often forced to choose between nibbling politely on crudites all night, and breaking my diet with tempting potato dishes. Is there any way for me to politely tell hosts and hostesses about my dietary restrictions. I'm hesitant because a self-imposed diet isn't anything like an actual medical allergy, yet I'm trying to reduce temptation. -- Carb-free and hoping to stay that way
You gotta know the darker, uglier sides of yourself. You gotta recognize them, so that they're not constantly sneaking up on you. You gotta LOVE 'EM, 'cause they're part of you, because along with your virtues, they make you who you are. Virtue isn't virtue unless it slams up against vice. So consequently, your virtue's not real virtue. Until it's been tested. . . tempted.
