We Know Satan will attack weak spots first. Forty days of fasting left Jesus famished, so satan began with the topic of bread. Jesus’s stomach was empty, so to the stomach Satan turned. Where are you empty? Are you hungry for attention, craving success, longing for intimacy ? Be aware of your weaknesses. Bring them to God before Satan brings them to you.

Chen Chen, from "Elegy for My Sadness", When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities

Today almost turned out REALLY bad. I ate my cals for the day, and got to Barre w my friend and we decided to go to the mall to the new Paleta place at the food court.

It broke my Lenten abstention from animal products. Idk the cals in it, so I’m assuming around 700.

Eating it made my crave all sorts of food. Pretzels, chicken, curry. I ALMOST went to another spot for food. But my bff was there and said I would feel bad about myself for doing that and further breaking my Lenten rule, so I refrained.

Idk if I would’ve made that choice had she not been there!

I decided to try on a bunch of clothes at the mall (which actually made me discover I’m back to a size 12 after being a 16 for so long) but it also made me look at my body and reinforce my goals.

So, I went home, put my retainers on to call it a night food wise, and went to the gym to do 60 min on the stair master. My gym crush waved at me, and I burned approximately 450 cals, which is hopefully most of that Paleta put to good use.

To believe that man is made in God's image is to believe that man is created for communion and union with God, and that if he rejects this communion he ceases to be properly man.
