I have participated in Lent for the past 4 years. It started as a challenge to motivate me to lose weight (diet) by giving up the foods and beverages that I was sure was packing the pounds on me. This intial challenge turned into a yearly opportunity to see how far I can push myself with the limits of my love...FOOD! Here is my 4 year breakdown:
2010- I gave up my favorite food..RICE, my favorite drink..Coke
2011- I became a pescutarian (no meat but seafood is fine) and no sugar (including juice, sodas)
2012- I became a vegetarian (no meat...AT ALL) and no sugar (including juice, sodas)
That brings us to 2013..my biggest challenge thus far. This year, I will become vegan. The short, short definition is I will not be able to eat anything that had a mother. I am saying goodbye to all meat, seafood and diary. *sigh*
Wish me luck guys because Im sure my inner fat girl is going to be angry!
So, do you Lent? If so, what are you giving up?
