And the president set a pretty lofty goal for himself this time around: no sweets.The 78-year-old discussed his decision to give up sugary treats whileover the weekend and also gave an update on what it's been like to give up his beloved sugar rush."I gave up all sweets for Lent. You have no idea how hard it is for me," he said.When asked to reveal the first sweet he's going to indulge in after Lent, the president gave an answer that didn't exactly surprise us: "Ice cream."Over the years, the president has been open about his love for the frosty treat and even during a 2014 visit to an Oregon ice cream shop.In 2016, the then-vice president appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and enjoyed a delicious cone during his interview.The 78-year-old appears to enjoy all sorts of ice cream and was spotted opening up an ice cream bar during a visit to China in 2013.In September 2020, the then-presidential-candidate, which apparently included a scoop of a Jeni's Splendid flavor: Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Flecks.
