Since I gave up sweets for lent, that meant everything, even hot beverages/coffee.

I went to go and check my mail in the student center. I could smell the coffee coming from the Java City. I usually get a guilt free vanilla latte (when I'm even being good)= 120 cal, 18 g carbs, 16 g sugar. Instead I got a vitamin water = 25 cal, 10g carbs and 0 sugar!!

  • good for you, i know how hard temptation is. If you like coffee you can have it, it isn't as bad as we all think, i know for me that is one thing that i can not i give up

    giving up sweets for Lent is not only a good thing physically but as you just saw...spiritually. It is really hard to deny our bodies what they want when they want it. But denying yourself for Him, is an awesome thing!
