this is how i feel. i'm not religious anymore but when i was, i never (and no one i know ever) gave up anything. i always wondered about it.

2/24/2009 7:39:55 PM

i need to think of something.

one year i gave up bagel bites. i used to eat them everyday. after i gave them up for lent, i never really ever ate them again.

odd

I am Catholic, but just b/c you are not doesn't mean you can partake. Its basically your time to free yourself from your worldly desires to focus on your soul in preparation for Easter and the resurrection of Jesus.

I would have given up alcohol. but i don't drink enough so that would be pointless.

I had steak tonight. lol. this year will be harder than last I have a feeling.

just think that red meat will give you cancer and it'll make it easier to give it up

2/24/2009 8:02:56 PM

I gave it up last year and it was hard but easier b/c there were lots of good seafood markets all around and the fish was cheaper in CA then it is here. That's my main concern.

2/24/2009 8:06:24 PM

soda, and blue bunny ice cream from the cstore

2/24/2009 8:26:18 PM

I'm thinking soda, but I dunno how I'm gonna get my caffeine to get through the longggg days I have Monday through Friday.

2/24/2009 8:28:12 PM

this thread is biased against non-christians. i demand that it be locked

2/24/2009 8:28:28 PM

I gave up soda back in November. After about 2 weeks, I didn't even miss it. Those 2 weeks were a bitch, I won't lie. But then my body got used to no caffeine and now I'm glad I did it. To get you through those first few weeks, try getting a latte at Starbucks in the morning, and drinking tea in the afternoon. It'll help.

2/24/2009 8:29:42 PM

If I had time to go to Starbucks in the morning, I probably wouldn't need any caffeine.

2/24/2009 8:32:40 PM

I gotta admit, I shouldn't be going to Starbucks in the morning. It's $3.77 for each Skinny Latte, and I get one probably 3 mornings a week.

2/25/2009 1:45:18 AM

2/25/2009 9:05:54 AM

2/25/2009 10:08:13 AM

I think I am going to give up beer because that costs money and I am running short on that right now.

2/26/2009 12:51:14 AM

Most of the people I knew in high school who did Lent were completely superficial about it. "HAY GUYZ I'M GONNA GIVE UP COFFEE EVEN THOUGH I NEVER DRINK LOLOLOL!"

On the other end of the spectrum was my great-grandparents who only ate bread and drank water during Lent

2/26/2009 2:05:02 AM

Last year I gave up Christianity for Lent.

I lol'd, parents did not.

[Edited on February 26, 2009 at 2:20 AM. Reason : they seem okay with it now.]

2/26/2009 2:19:14 AM

There will never be anything more original than people saying, "I gave up God/Christianity for Lent LOL!"

It seriously will never happen.

2/26/2009 2:24:52 AM

Meh, it wasn't to be a dumbass or for a laugh. Just one of those things that happened to coincide.

So I gave up ice cream for Lent, right?

Last night was my belated birthday dinner at Outback with my folks and my inlaws (since I was sick last week and cancelled the dinner). They had the waiters/waitresses come out and sing to me - no big deal - but they brought me a huge bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream on it.

So I asked for 8 spoons and everyone passed the bowl around and ate my dessert - and I didn't take one bite! Yay for will power!

If I give up anything at any time of the year it would be for my own good, not to please some imaginary guy in the sky.

"I'm doing monthly resolutions: February is giving up sweets, and March might be giving up Starbucks. But really has nothing to do with lent "

that is an interesting idea.

2/26/2009 8:53:19 AM

^aww yay, we can be support for each other. basically giving up sweets all together!
