Lenten Fast Ideas

[EllieC]

Hello,
I hope everyone has had a blessed Lent so far. I am wondering if anyone on here would be able to provide advice for a way to fast from food this Lent for the struggle of gluttony. I go to confession every week… every time I fall again and again and again. I know that it pulls me away significantly from spiritual freedom, and I am hoping to find a good example of a fast that might help me fight this sin and grow in a deeper relationship with our Blessed Lord. Any and all ideas are welcome!
Blessings

If by gluttony, you mean eating more than you should on a regular basis, then I would suggest you consider thinking about this problem as something other than sinful. It is a mental health issue, and many people suffer with it. Eating disorders are so common. I would suggest working with a trained therapist in that field to help you understand why you do what you do and help you develop better habits and less guilt over it.
