For being Jewish! That's the fun of Jewish guilt. :-)
And it is a neat Jewish thing -- you get to fast for 24 hours if you celebrate it (which I don't, but I used to). So I figure, if we had it more often, I'd lose weight. That's the ultimate diet plan -- combine the Catholic frequency of confession with the Jewish fasting thing!
