Vertigo kicked in and I had to eat. Vertigo is my souvenir from the 94 earthquake.
I will try to do better though - best thoughts to all who are sticking through it and great energy towards karendc.

I have absolutely no willpower whatsoever, I'm amazed at people who are able to do things like fast or even stick to their lent promises. You are an inspiration!! :hug:

| 11. No, I'm not - I was pretty pathetic. I had not one noble feeling inside me |
|
and kept thinking about eating. Trust me - I was pathetic.
My vertigo was probably from all the pics of food spinning around my head - I envisioned whirled peas, alright. ;)

From my Catholic teaching, FWIW. Faith isn't a feeling, it's a decision and a thousand decisions to act on faith, no matter how one feels at the time. Those 30 hours were an act of complete faith and offering a sacrifice to remember all the sacrifices others are making - and the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, if you believe in Him. Don't knock what you did, you did GOOD!!

| 13. I grew up Catholic, too, and that's why I'm beating myself up over it. ;) |

Guilt never rests for Catholic girls. ;)

| 14. Yeah, that can happen |

Until I really started studying Catholicism as an adult, I was stuck with a lot of garbage they tell little kids too. Not that everything I learned convinced me to go back to Mass, too much goofiness in today's Church for that. But trust me, I'm tellin' ya right on your sacrifice. You made a decision and you did it. That's the whole deal, you done good.
