Lent

No, I am not suddenly Catholic, but I love me some Lent. I have a few friends who give something up every year for Lent, and I thought this year I would join them.

1. I have decided to give up treats. I know. Crazy, right? I'm not a candy person, but it's the baked goods that get me. Cookies, cakes, pastries . . . I live for them. This is one of my favorite bakeries: goodbye Gourmandise . . . see you in 40 days.


Also, I have decided to give up celebrity gossip, and I will admit, this has almost been harder for me than the sweets! It's become such a habit for me to check my email and check my Yahoo OMG.


Besides gaining more appreciation for the obvious: sacrifice and self-control, the goal is to work on having a healthier body image. So by taking away these two temptations, I hope that I can lose a little weight, and be happier about doing it. Wish me luck!

What would you give up for Lent?
