I have retained some stubborn belly fat from steroids and hormones, and I detest it. There. I said it.
But I finally figured out how to get rid of that fat and Lent helped me with my health goals! If you follow me on Instagram then you may have seen my stories talking about my plans for Lent. My Mom always observed Lent with great reverence which has influenced me to do the same. Though I think many people think of Lent as a Catholic observance, it’s observed in many denominations and is a very important part of my Methodist-raised-now-Baptist-but always Christian-faith. Mom would usually give up something like sweets or would increase her fasting and praying. I’ve often done the same.
