fat tuesday

This year for lent I have decided to give up two of my favorite things, starbucks and candy. It is going to be pretty hard since I have an addiction both. I am ashamed to say that I can be seen most mornings at the starbucks on calgary trail and 34th waiting for my triple venti non fat no whip sugar free cinnamon dolce latte... it will be hard stop, I'll have to resort to drinking the weak bland coffee from the work coffee pot...sick. But I'm pretty certain I can do it, and on the plus side it will be a nice break on my bank account.
The candy on the other hand will be a challenge on a whole other level, I love candy. My candy of choice...sour gummies, namely jolly rancher screamin' sours. I usually have at least on bag a week, they're just so good, my mouth is watering just thinking about them now, I haven't really come up with a strategy on how I'm going to go a whole month with out them, or any candy for that matter I guess just take it one day at a time...after all Jesus went for 40 days without any food so I'm pretty sure I can go without candy for that long.
Is anyone else giving something up? Or have you in the past?
