What are you giving up?
Many of my Facebook friends are giving something up for lent. Most say that it will be chocolate that they won’t have, but of course it could be anything.
Now whether they’re doing it for religious reasons or because it’s a way of helping them diet I don’t know, but what strikes me is that they often follow the public declaration with a moan about how much they don’t really want to, or with a comment about how hard it will be.
Either way it shows how much power they give to this food and how much it will be in their thoughts right up to the time they allow themselves to eat it again.
No food should have that much control over anyone.
