Help with testing

Hebrews 2:11-18

¹⁸ Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. 

Yes Jesus was tested. He spent forty days in the desert contemplating his sonship with God and what power that gave him. He spent hours in the Garden of Gethsemane agonizing over the coming hours and whether he could escape the horrors of death.  He did not succomb to the easy path of escape. He drank his cup and went through with the torture and painful death. And it was well in the end.

Why do I make such a fuss about a self-imposed  lower calorie intake during Lent?
