Abstinence from food is not the only thing that we do during the Lenten season. Personally, I resolved to refraining from the little comforts that I usually enjoy on normal days. I also read a plurk that abstinence of words can also be done when we can try to resist cursing or saying hurtful words to others. I think I can manage that.
There's also a friend who wrote about how she will lessen her Facebook usage as her sacrifice for Lent. I cannot reduce my online usage because of work but I think that I have already significantly lessened my FB activities. I don't even play games anymore.
Abstaining from yummy food and other comforts in life is easier said than done. I'm glad I haven't forgotten what I cannot have last Ash Wednesday and the first Friday of fasting and abstinence which is today. I'll just motivate myself and have comfort in the fact that I can lose weight without even taking slimquick extreme. No, but seriously, it really is a comforting thought that I can somehow sacrifice small things to remember Christ's sacrifice.
