From Food Addiction to Freedom

From Food Addiction to Freedom

I just wanted to quickly share this post from Prodigal Magazine. We are now 21 days into Lent and I have to say, giving up junk food and sweets has been really easy. Like, suspiciously easy. And I think it's because I have this fail-safe defense against them. It's really easy to say no to something when you can also add, "I gave up that for Lent. I promised Jesus I wouldn't have that. I'm sacrificing." But what happens when Lent is over? What happens when I have to just say no, without any qualifiers? I don't know, but it makes me a little bit nervous.
