So lent is now upon us and everyone is proudly posting what they are going to give up! For anyone who doesn’t know what lent is, Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and its observance lasts for 40 days(not including Sundays) mirroring the 40 days that Jesus spent fasting.
Now I am Catholic and I’m ashamed to say I have never given up anything for Lent, but this year I have decided to give up Diet Pepsi (Hi, My name is Jenna and I am addicted to diet Pepsi.) I can go days without drinking any water, only diet Pepsi !!!
Now, this might not seem like it will be a hard thing to do for some people but I do crave it and have been looking into the health risks of diet sodas.
The sad thing Is I probably knew the above without needing to research it and still drink it on a daily basis knowing what it’s doing to my body! I am looking forward to seeing the benefits and I’m sure my purse will also see a benefit.
I will not be switching to an alternative fizzy drink and after 40 days I plan to only drink fizzy juice in moderation, water only for me!! (luckily I drink Vodka, Soda water & lime then)
Are you giving up anything for Lent?
