Torturing Depravities

I'm giving up wheat for Lent.

I'm not Catholic, but since I have friends who are, I'm joining their little Lent Club. I might have a shred of success if I have groupies who are torturing themselves with various depravities. One friend is giving up facebook.

I give her 78 hours.

Also on my Lent list (I am unfamiliar with the details of Lent, but I can't imagine giving up two vices is such a bad thing) is fast food. Fast, cheap, easy, and inherently evil. However, since saving money and good calories are both high on my list of To-DO's, I see no viable reason why they should remain a weekly routine. In the event that my friends want to go out, my only allowable choices will be sit-down restaurants that are a bit on the expensive side to deter frequent visits. Even then my food choices there will be planned out beforehand.

I didn't go to the gym this morning. I awoke to my roommate's alarm which meant it was too late to go. I'm thinking of hiring a conscience. This way I can text him/her and ask permission to eat sugar, wheat, etc.

Maybe if someone else tells me no, I'll listen.
