Lent.

Lent starts tomorrow. To copy my sister, I've never really understood it. She got me thinking however, that Lent may not be a bad idea. It's a chance to give up something that will bring me closer to God. And lets be honest, I can't totally give up eating sweets. I would lose my mind. But I can exercise some self control. When I sit in my room bored because my semester is so easy, I eat. The only thing that ever sounds good to me at all is pure sugar. Chocolate, conversation hearts, starbursts, you name it. I need to stop buying it. That way I stop eating it. I always tell myself I'll buy one bag and have self control when I get home. Does it happen? No.

When I finish a bag of something, I feel awful about myself. This is something I can change. And it can help me feel better about myself. So. Here goes. Limiting junk food. Two pieces of candy a day. By pieces I mean little pieces. Like the bite size ones. And I'll start eating real healthy food, even when it sounds nauseating. I have to start eating real food.

Wish me luck!
