Well, lent starts today. I couldn't decide what to give up so my friend Lizzy suggested chocolate. At first I disagreed because I thought I didn't eat it very much. Then I looked at my recent food choices and chocolate was a very big one of them.
Last year I gave up soda. I thought that I drank it a lot and really, I did. Now I choose water over soda ANY day. I had one sip of it on Easter and that was it for a while. I believe that I became healthier from not drinking soda.
Before Lizzy's suggestion, I had been thinking about pizza. I realized that was not a good choice because being the age I am, pizza is a food group. We have it at least once or twice a week at school if not more. Pizza Hut is also the place we go after church on Sundays a lot. I would not be able to function. I would be giving it up for God though so that should've motivated me. But in reality, I would not have made it until Easter.
i'm glad you didn't choose pizza hut...can you imagine if i tried to give up pizza hut? i'm there EVERY DAY!!! i've never given anything up before but this year i decided to give up soda (like you did last year). i BARELY got through day 1. i had to work a 12 hour shift at the hut and the entire time i was thinking about wild cherry pepsi, and how much i wanted some. i'm thinking of it now, in fact. it's going to be a hard journey for me, i'm afriad...
