I usually don't recongnize the lenten season. No particular reason, as an adult I just never have. We were raised Catholic as children and we wouldn't eat meat on Fridays and Dad would take us to church on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and I remember one time attending a Mass focusing on the Stations of the Cross.
This year I decided to give up Cake, Cookies, Candy and Ice Cream during the lenten season. It has now been 1 week and 3 days and I can proudly say that haven't cheated.
The Cake and Ice Cream weren't that hard to give up, it's the Cookies and Candy that is. (Especially since I have Thin Mints stilling in my freezer right now). I have had 3 days (today being one of them) that I have CRAVED sweets but haven't given in.
Doing this hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be and a plus is that I have lost 3 lbs.
I am hoping I will last until Easter Sunday and that maybe even after Easter I won't have a craving for sweets.

Something To Try and Live By
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your ownbusiness and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Way to go. The next time you crave something sweet, try to have some fruit around to satify it.
