Lent

giving up fast food is a good one... i think i'll do that one
i always heard of lent and love the idea of giving thanks by giving something up but being a falling catholic i forget all these holidays

 

I give up smoking, which is easy because I don't.

 

last year i gave up being mean to jake.. didn't happen

this year i'm giving up hugs, people can give them to me but i can't hug back

 

I'm still waiting for Hallmark to come up with a line of greeting cards for Lent:icon_wink

 

I'm giving up healthy eating.

 

starting tomorrow im giving up salt

 

Lent should be about giving up things that are "poisoning" your soul, or things you enjoy... too much. Chocolate, smoking, alcohol, sex, swearing and other stuff would be good options.

Too bad I'm not religious. Well, I don't think Lent serves its purpose anyway.

 

When I was 18, I gave up giving up things for Lent. And I liked doing it so much I made it permanent.

Trying to give up being gay for lent, but it isn't working out so well lol.

 

Meat. Did it last year, and it really forced me to start eating healthier. And I plan on becoming a vegetarian when I go to college in the fall, so it's good... practice, I guess?

I'm also trying to be more religious. I've completely given up religion recently because of the views on homosexuality... but I'm going to start trying to look past it and using it for the positive things in life. I mean really... why not?

 

sex with women. That is what I am giving up.

 

Back when I used to be religious I gave up candy one year. Now that I'm an atheist I'm not giving up anything.

 

Erm I don't want to give up anything for Lent I always fail so I'm not gonna try this year but if I was gonna do it I guess I would give up Twinkies they are my addiction

 

I LOVE Lent! That sounds weird but I really enjoy it because it is so good for me. I always give up something(s) which kills me to give up and it is always so good for me.

Every year I give up eating meat (except Sundays and extenuating circumstances) and limit my alcohol and tobacco intake. This year in particular, I am going to cut myself off from using the Internet for entertainment purposes, and start reading again. For some reason I went from reading 100+ pages a day for leisure, to spending 4-8 hours online and not even opening a book. GROSS! So last night, I put on some classical music and sat down with my favorite sci-fi author (Asimov) and had a great read.

I wonder if I can do anything else. Hmm...the more sacrifice the better, I say!

Everyone have a very productive and selfless Lent!

 

Although im not really religious(im undecided but leaning towards being agnostic), im just gonna try to be more giving and nicer and an overall better person to others.

 

Cussing. I cuss a lot, so it's hard, but it's something I should do.

 

I'm catholic but I participate in Lent for my own reasons. It's a good time of the year for me to prove to myself I can do something I've pretty much given up.....well everything :lol:

The main thing is anything carbonated....well almost. I'm refraining from soda as much as possible and so far I've been successful. I've also decided to give up sweets, but I've had chocolate twice. haha....it was on fruit though so not so bad. I suppose :lol:

 

just want to give a update. I am doing well with my *no sex with woman* thing. currently 26 and a half years already, so am on a role.
