Well... it's that time of year again. Everyone has given up on their New Year's resolutions of working out and being the best version of themselves by now.

But don't worry because here's the perfect chance to redeem yourself. Lent is only forty days, not a whole year so it's already way more manageable and not as daunting of a challenge. But let's be real, giving up anything is always a hard task to accomplish.

The good news is, you get to start off the journey with Fat Tuesday, the day of binging your little heart out with no regrets, and end it with Easter candy (shoutout to Peeps and chocolate bunnies). Whether you're giving up soda, TV, fast food, or Twitter, it's never an easy ride.

But no one summarizes our feelings better than Schmidt, so here are the 6 stages of Lent according to our favorite guy.

1. Fat Tuesday.

Eat, drink, rage, binge. Do whatever you feel on Fat Tuesday and party it up because tomorrow starts forty days of torture.

2. Blind confidence.

Forty days? Please, that is child's play. You are fired up and ready to own this. I DARE you to put a cupcake in my face and watch me decline it without even batting an eye. Challenge accepted.

3. The temptations set in.

You've survived the first week and you're feeling strong until your friend asks you if you want to go get some pizza and you low key start to come undone. Not cool Becky. Not cool.

4. Subsequent anger.

You hear the word chocolate and immediately lash out in anger. By this point your cravings are out of control and you're filled to the brim with rage just waiting for this forty day hell to end. You feel like a complete psychopath and casually have to check yourself throughout the day and rein it in.

5. All your friends give up.

All of your friends have quit and given up by this point, leaving you to fend for yourself. You feel utterly betrayed that you are now alone in your misery.

6. Reaffirm your decision.

You get over the fact that your friends are a bunch of quitters and start feeling super accomplished of that fact that you have stuck with it. You get a much needed confidence boost and can see the finish line that is close ahead.

7. Mission accomplished.

You did the dang thing. You made it all forty days and it might actually be the first time you've ever committed to something and actually followed through. You're so excited that you tell everyone within a 10 mile radius about your achievements. Now go treat yo self, you certainly deserve it.
