I give something up every year - successfully too. No crisps or chocolate for the entire period.
Hell knows why I can't do it all year round
Anyway ... This year I'm attempting something different.
Whilst other years I've replaced the lent items with ice cream or cake ( I'm a fat cow ok) ..this year its a lent detox so Im giving up all 'treats'
Do you give anything up??
Look at me doing a sensible thread people !!!! |

I've switched to eating little bits of high quality high cocoa percentage choccy. All the benefits and intensity of taste but not too much. I could give up being a lazy arse and get down the gym more. |

I'm not in the slightest bit religious.
However, this year I have given up sugar and nearly all "bad" foods and rubbishy junk food for my diet already. The diet will last for quite a few months. |

YES I have given up bread, choc,crisps and junk food. Wonder how long it will last... Suppose you could consider it for... lent. ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

Maybe fine give up something but give something instead. Try doing a good turn a day. Visit a neighbour. Do some volunteering. The mothers union did a "count your blessings" thing a couple if years ago. Try googgling it. I thought it was very good. Xx |

Lent is a form of sacrifice. So giving up something that is easy for you to give up for the 40 days isn't really giving up something for lent. Try being celibate. That will be a sacrifice for everyone on here ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

I've given up chocolate, cake, biscuits and sweets for 100 days since new year...it's not always easy, but not too bad. I've found that sultanas are a great to satisfy a sweet tooth
Good luck! Xx |

Hardly. I can give up sex faaaar more easily than I can give up chocolate, cakes, crisps and the occasional glass of wine.
I've managed perfectly well without sex for prolonged periods throughout my life. |

Last year I gave up chocolate for lent. At the end of the 40 days I could gladly of killed someone. So this year, for the sake of my liberty, I've given up nothing. (Was thinking coffee but I would be typing this from a prison cell - on a smuggled phone) ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

I am not religious so am not doing anything special for Lent, but I have recently stopped drinking alcohol as part of a healthier lifestyle decision.
I am hoping I can keep it up until July (when I go on holiday) and am curious to see the effect.
Previously (last year) I also stopped eating bread, don't miss it at all. Sadly I can't say the same for booze, I really miss it... |

I think she probably fully understands. When we were young we would give up TV or video games. It's not just about food. |

Yep seems reasonable to me. If it's a sacrifice I think it works. Day 2 for me in sobriety house ![](/icons/s/surprised.gif) |
