I dreaded the decision—would it be chocolate, soda pop, pizza, or maybe even fried foods? I would contemplate carefully what I thought I might be able to give up and not slip up with a cheat. Either way, especially as a teenager, it seemed like an eternity of time marching through those forty days toward Easter where I longed to break the deprivation and be able to indulge in the tasty delight once again.
