I only gave up junk for lent because i want to lose weight?

So my mom gave up chocolate for lent...I decided to give up all junk food for lent only cause I want to lose a few pounds. I need a reason for motivation. I really don't think God cares if you give up certain foods, IIN?

Is It Normal?

  • Don't worry I'm fairly sure God won't mind you giving up junk food, because you just wanna lose weight. I think God would want you to be healthy and happy, so if losing weight helps you then go for it! People on the other hand will have their personal beliefs and judgments, but don't worry about them. God knows your heart better than you do and certainly better than any other human being. I ain't mad at ya.

    • Maybe I should save some cash and donate it to a food bank.

      • You have a most benevolent heart, my friend. What you are suggesting is certainly better than a welfare Robin Hood I once knew. He stole underwear from a laundromat and donated it to a clothes closet for poor people.
