PIC: The struggle of giving up chocolate for Lent summed up in one image from Trim

Conor Heneghan

Whoever it was must have fought a brave fight.

We are but one week into Lent, but seven days is plenty for people that have given up chocolate to have started getting withdrawal symptoms.

The hardest thing for many who have given up chocolate is to pass by the confectionary section in a shop without stopping to pick up a bar or two to have with a cup of tea after dinner.

One unidentified soul in Nally’s Super Valu in Trim tried their best to eat healthily at lunchtime today, but the sight of a Wispa was obviously too much for them…

If that tested your Lenten mettle, try perusing through our list of the 41 best chocolate bars in Ireland without wanting to devour one of them afterwards.
