Lent began on Wednesday, and the biggest question most people think about is what they're going to give up.
I thought about what I've given up or given more of in the past years... I've tried to better myself and my relationship with God in past years for Lent, and also have given up everything between Facebook (some people weren't pleased with that, haha), insecurities, and certain addicting foods...
I decided to give up chocolate for Lent this year. It sounds absolutely crazy, but I figured I'd give it a try--I am a chocolate addict, and it's really bad! I also want to eat a bit healthier.
It's only day three, and so far, so good... but I've realized how much stuff I eat has chocolate in it! It's a struggle for me, but hopefully this will help me be a bit healthier with my food and snacking choices. I have my friends and family who will support me and prevent my temptations for these next 37 days!
Thats a difficult thing to give up but I know you'll be able to survive the next few weeks with no problem! I think its great that the things that you choose to give up in the past few years aren't just physical things, like when you decided to give up insecurities! You are such a great person <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill! ♥ I hope I can too! It's so tempting when the caf has those delicious chocolate chip cookies, haha! You're the best!
DeleteI never know what to give up for lent. This year I gave up ice cream because I eat it all the time. Chocolate is a hard one too. I hope that you didn't give in to your temptations!! You only have a few more days then you can eat all the chocolate you want on Easter!!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I agree! Chocolate was soooo hard... there were way too many temptations and I didn't realize how much is in chocolate! Ice cream is pretty difficult too, especially since the caf has some good ice cream!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes! Just think, only a few more hours until you can have all the ice cream you want! Haha we did it though! ☺
