Will power; I have none…

I thought this year would be different.
I thought my will power was stronger and 40 days was NOTHING.
Apparently, I don’t know me very well.

I thought I’d have no problem giving up something for Lent. I’ve given up things in the past. I’ve succeeded at some and failed at others. Most times it worked for about a week or two, you know, like most diets I’ve ever been on. I convinced myself that this year was different. That this year I was different. I was wrong, again!

This year I had great intentions. I was going to give up something I really LOVE. Something I can’t usually go a few days without. Something I crave daily. This year I decided I was going to give up chocolate. I’ll give you a moment to process that. OK, are you back? Good…now stop laughing! Yes, I realize it was a lofty goal, but isn’t that what Lent’s about? Giving up something that you love and can’t live without?

So, I gave up chocolate…for Lent. I went into it with high hopes and ready to conquer a chocolate free world. My hopes and good intentions lasted for all of 2 weeks. 14 days. I totally failed!!!

I blame Easter.
I blame Target and Wal-Mart for their isles and isles and isles of Easter candy goodness.
I blame my lack of will power!

But, most of all I blame this…

I’m going to Hell because I could NOT resist the Cadbury Creme Egg.
Well, and so many other things.

*sigh*

I gave it up TOO!! I cheated a couple of times but it still took A LOT on my part to give up something I ate EVERY DAY is some form. Cannot WAIT for Sunday!!

And yes, Cadbury eggs are the hardest to resist!

Yeah, what Stacey said.

Think about it, it’ll be better than the greatest BH party. With more booze and extra chocolate.

I agree. How can you not give in when the candy is just sitting there calling your name!
Your not alone
