Hunger
What can hunger pangs teach us about temptation?
This too shall pass.
In the moment, it may seem unbearable. But it won't kill you, and it'll ease up eventually.
It'll likely come back around with a vengeance; know this and be prepared.
Take it one day at a time.
As someone very wise once said:
And most importantly, when you fail, remember this: Christ, after fasting for 40 days (and being just a wee bit hungry, as you may imagine), resisted temptation perfectly on your behalf.
Cling to that, dear blackest of souls; cling to that.
