Good Friday

Good Morning!
One of the most torturous days in the year has just began. The day when everything enjoyable is strictly forbidden- no TV, no music, 3 meals only. Work and contemplation are to fill our time throughout the day...
It used to be so at least. Nowadays, we seem to stick to the minimum, that is the 3 meals and work. (You can probably tell from the fact that I'm using Internet, the work of devil, right now.) The work being mostly cooking and baking, it's torturous enough I'd say.
All throughout the year I can easily forgo breakfast, often simply forget about it, Ash Wednesday included, this being a regular work day, there is little time to think about food.
Good Friday, however, is the only day in the year when I am able to begin to imagine how a person with a serious eating disorder must feel. Food everywhere and you mustn't touch it, what can be more cruel? Only the fact that my adolescent nieces don't follow the fasting routine and happily munch on whatever they fancy- NOT FAIR!
