Balance of Food

UPDATE: I realize not all Catholics believe in the "Sundays are off" ritual. I can't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. The principle of the diet, if you take away the religious significance, reamins true. But I still believe it's true for Catholics. Even if you aren't Catholic, you might want to try to use Lent to your advantage. For those who don't know, the tradition of giving something up starts today, Ash Wednesday, and runs through Easter Sunday. Some Catholics don't know this, but whatever you give up for Lent, you can rest from that on Sundays. (46 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday -- 40 days plus 6 Sundays.) Giving something up is not easy. So it might help if you want to give something up to have an "island of sanity" to help you. If you give up soft drinks, knowing you can have it on Sunday may help you get through the week. Who knows? You might last longer than 6 weeks.
