I did something very, very bad at the weekend. It wasn’t my fault, honestly. As you may know I’ve given up chocolate and crisps for lent. Please see below for a confession on what happened at the weekend – I am not proud of myself.
3 weeks into lent and a night of karaoke was my downfall (note to self. The tone deaf must not sing Rihanna’s Umbrella). After copious amounts of wine, vodka, JD and tequila *cue lecture from mum on binge drinking* my flatmate and I stumbled home worse for wear. When we arrived the first thing my flatmate did was get our fav pizza place, Oregano, on speed dial. BTW this pizza place is AMAZING, if you’re ever in Clapham old town you should check it out as they do the best bbq chicken pizza ever. Anyway, not content with waiting 20 minutes, the first thing I did was tuck into the massive pot of nutella we had left over from Pancake Day (oh the irony). I didn’t stop there, oh no. I then polished off the best part of a bar of chocolate, and this was no small bar of chocolate let me tell you. Think large, very large.
The worst thing is, the next day I chose to break my lent further by demolishing half a big bag of Chilli Wave Doritoes and some Sainsbury’s Bacon bites. Yes I know I am disgusting, what a #dietfail. Breaking my lent the day after I was pissed means sadly I can no longer claim ‘it wasn’t my fault, I was drunk’ or ‘if i can’t remember it didn’t happen.’
It's the hazelnutty, chocolately goodness's fault, not mine
Now I am stuck with the following dilemmas: do I carry on “following” lent? (I have placed following in speech marks as I haven’t clearly followed it so far. Also, who is to say Ill be able to hold out when drunk again)? Do I only follow lent on week days and sack it off on the weekends? Or do I sack it off altogether? Answers on a postcard (or in the comments sections below) please!
