Im giving up sweets...candy, cookies, cake, brownies...what have you.
I think since my office is always heavy in sweets, that it will help me to get a hold of myself.0 -
I'm giving up booze for lent. In my case that's gin.
It's traditional to donate to charity the money you'd save by giving something up, so someone else benefits from you abstaining.
I'm going to donate mine to my church (the money I've not spent, not the gin!!!)
Who would you donate your money to?
I love that idea!!0 -
Great idea! I have 2 days to think/meditate on this. I really want to do something that will not be easy for 40 (46) days. Something not easy but will feel a real sense of accomplishment and spiritual commitment when done successfully! Haven't done something like this since I was a kid. When I decide...I'll repost again...hhhmmmm...alcohol, fasting, meat (already trying this-doing well), daily meditation (already trying this-doing well), daily exercise (already trying this-doing well).
SO I need to find something that isn't going to be so easy!0 -
I still haven't decided yet.
I'm not Catholic but I do see the physical and spiritual benefits of the practice.
Maybe I'll do sodas and something else if I land on something.
I may also set up time and space for prayers and meditations or to at least work on having more body positive thoughts.0 -
Solid food. I'm doing a liquid fast for the next 40 with the exception of 1 day - my sister's birthday - I'm taking her to brunch. It came at a good time. I go through phases when I really dont want to eat anything and the act of eating really bothers me and I'm in that mindset right now so I'll stick with protein shakes.0

Maybe mine will be giving up potluck lunches, drug rep lunches and eating out during the week at work. I have a bad habit of packing a healthy lunch then not eating it when something else smells better.0
