    I gave up all sugar last year, really quite difficult as it is hidden in everything, this year I have given up so much already that I don't think I can stand to give up anything else.

    I'm giving up:

    1) Chocolate for the ninth year in a row. The midnight chocolate fest on Easter Sunday is family tradition now, my sister and I both set a £10 limit and spend that on any chocolate we want to pig out at midnight (we never stick to £10 and we never eat it all but we don't really mind).

    2) Takeaways (I don't eat a lot of them but it means I have an excuse to NOT order Chinese/pizza/Indian when at a friends house).

    3) Horsemeat found in 100% beef products like Findus' Spaghetti Bologneighs :)

    I'd like to give up procrastination for Lent, but I keep putting it off.

    I'm going to give up facebook and hopefully use that time to walk/run. I'm going to do a 5k next month.

    Meat (excl. fish)
    chocolate (ALL chocolate)
    biscuits (I like to dunk in my tea...but I don't have normal tea anymore)
    cow milk (just to see what all the fuss with almond and soy milk is about)

    thought about giving up alcohol and realised I'd only be lying to myself !

    Trying to work on my potty mouth...especially around my kids! Also decided last night that I will try giving up pizza. It just makes me feel gross anymore to eat, so might as well.

    I will be giving up enriched flour and white rice along with red meat. Dedication and perseverance plus it will reset my buttons:-)

    I'm giving up all processed foods (especially carbs!) I'm so scared! It's going to be hard!

    Gave up sodas 4 years ago for Lent & haven't had one since. Once I was able to drink them again, they tasted horrible & I just did not want them anymore. This year, I am trying to cut processed food out. Hoping to have the same success as I did with the sodas!! Good luck to you!!

    You can do it!!! I have been Paleo friendly for a couple months. I feel great. I still have to have cheese on occasion though... So that is why I say paleo friendly

    I am currently planning to give up fast food (except for pizza). It's not healthy, and most of the time I feel pretty gross after eating it. Hopefully it will be a permanent change.

    All animal products (meat, cheese, milk) and alcohol. They are both addictions for me so I'm going cold turkey.
