Lent

I usually don't like to ban things from my life because for me I find doing things strictly is not the appropriate approach. However, I'm going to give it a whirl this year. (Simply because I could stand to shed some weight from my saddlebags) So, I thought about a few things that I really really love that I could stand to do without. (I can barely type this) Five minutes ago, I was digging a Butterfinger out of a co-workers candy jar only to realize I had committed to my new rule hours ago in my brain. NO CANDY. I love candy...I love it all...and I'm done for 40 days. (I hope, I'm trying) I don't know why I love it so...it seriously makes me feel like I need to wash out my insides with a Brillo pad. One question though...is candy under the umbrella of cookies? I need to know because to me candy is anything found in big bags or near the checkout at the grocery store. If I'm wrong, let me know. What are you giving up?
