What are you giving up? I am struggling with healthy eating at the mo so am going to use it as booster by giving up choc, crisps (my fave!!), biscuits & cakes!

Anyone else?

    WHY??? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
  • I'm struggling with that decision too. Soda and chocolate are my usual go-to vices that I switch between each year, but maybe I should try something different.
  • I'm giving up Diet Coke! It's going to be tough, but completely worth it in the end. Getting lots of water intake instead though :smile:

    Giving up wine and any other alcoholic beverage....
  • I know i always do something like giving up alcohol, chocolate, facebook, swearing or t.v. But if you cant think of anything to give up, try and do something else, like start something new for the duration of lent... a dance class or book club or something you wouldn't normally do... maybe visit the elderly neighbour next door. I think lent is a chance to think about sacrifice and others sacrifice and to try and be a better person. That wasn't supposed to sound preachy... :) ..... i still don't know what i'm going to give up... i couldn't give up chocolate... its the only bit of happiness i have left! :D...... i'll think of something else though!

    I gave up all soft drinks last year for Lent and it ended up being permanent!:) I won't lie, I stillI may have one every couple of months but that sure beats having 2-3 a day like I used to!

    I still don't know what to give up this year! I'm kinda stressing about it! lol
