End of Lent

For the sake of accountability at work our Lent fasts ended yesterday. About four of us (out of maybe 15) stuck it out right to the end. The other three gave up fast food, chocolate and crisps and their indulgences yesterday seem to match my experience. I didn't find much pleasure in going shopping again, I spent ages deliberating over possible purchases, annoying myself with my indecisiveness. I bought a few items and ended up taking most of them back today. It was a little depressing but I feel surprisingly free, not feeling as much compulsion to buy things. Maybe my fast has taught me more than I thought it would.
