Lent

Today is my last day for chocolate. Lent begins tomorrow and I’ve decided to give up chocolate again. Forty days. I was able to do it two years ago (and that’s when I was preggers with CootieGirl), so I’m sure I’ll have no problem this time around.

    I’m giving up chocolate too. I may need to lean on you during the rough moments.

    I’ll be praying for both of you. Chocolate was the hardest thing I ever gave up for Lent.

Lent

I’ve decided to really sacrifice for Lent this year. I’ve decided to give up chocolate. Now those who know me well know that a commitment on my part to give up chocolate is pretty major. Especially while I’m pregnant and craving sweets 24 hours a day. When trying to determine what to give up, I took mental stock of all the chocolatey goodness in my house.

  • chocolates from the local Hallmark
  • Oreo cookies
  • Oreo cereal
  • Quik
  • Chocolate with chococlate flakes ice cream
  • granola bars with chocolate chips
  • fudge Pop-Tarts
  • chocolate candy for the movies
  • Brownies we made the other night
  • various Weight Watchers desserts containing chocolate

    And that’s just what I can think of right now without sifting through the cupboards. This is gonna be painful, people. Simply painful.

      Chocolate is the hardest thing to give up. I did it one year for lent and it was agony. I think that was also the last year I gave anything up for lent. *hee*

      I’ll be praying that you can stick with it.

      What an inspiration you are! I think I could give up chocolate pretty easily so I may give up potato chips which are my all-time favorite snack food.

      If I were Denis, I think I’d be praying that you don’t give up chocolate. It’s bad enough to give it up in a normal mind set…but while pregnant…whoa! Good Luck!

      That’s alright. I’m giving up alcohol and sweets (cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, candy — you name it!) for Lent. At least I hope we can toast with a glass of champagne and a chocolate truffle or two when CootieGirl is born since Easter Sunday is April 20th. Of course, she might be early, and then we’ll have to hold off on that toast.

      I gave up Lent for Lent. I know, I know, Satan and I already set up an appointment to look at some molten lava-front property.

      I also gave up chocolate and pop for lent. Pop isn’t that hard, its only hard when I go out and restaurants don’t offer that many things to drink. Chocolate has been an agony. I can’t have chocolate milk, which I usually drink everyday, and the icecream in my freezer, and granola bars, and cookies. I really crave chocolate chip cookies, and my sister keeps eating them in front of me. Well good luck to you, and I will continue with this also.
