Today is Ash Wednesday, which means that Lent has begun. I didn’t realise! But the good thing is that I set a reminder in my calendar.
I know as customs dictate, I’m meant to give up meat but that is not an option right now. So instead, I’m going to give up chocolate for the next 40 days.
Lately, I have been eating so many sweets that have chocolate in it, so this is going to be a real challenge for me. I actually think it will be even harder than giving up meat. Chocolate has been a major temptation – to the point that I think I’m pretty addicted to it at the moment. Well, I can’t be 100% sure whether or not it’s the fact that it’s chocolate, or just sugar in general.
I do feel like I’ve fallen off the bandwagon again, so perhaps this is also a way to get back on? I don’t know. Maybe that’s not the right way to think about it.
All I know is that the next 40 days are going to be a struggle.
I’m going to need all the self discipline in the world to get me through this!
Much love,
