    I gave up lent. Just playing. I'm giving up spinach and going for kale. I heard it has more protein, fiber, and is better for you. I'm trying to get real lower ab definition.

    I gave up responding to obvious troll threads on MFP.

    I gave up fast food but I may have to break that bc I recently saw in my local newspaper that taco bell will be coming out with a cool ranch dorito taco. *drool*

    It'll still be there when Lent is over!

    Hello =)

    The last few years I started giving up things like alcohol or Facebook rather than giving up my normal things like soda or candy.

    This year I stepped it up a bit by giving up Facebook, Instragram and a couple online games that I loved playing on my phone or Ipad that sucks up a lot of my time and therefore takes me away from my husband and kids.

    I gave up facebook this year for that same reason -- to better focus on my role as a mom and wife.

    I gave up wine and shoe shopping. And the stores are having amazing sales right now, so its been extremely hard to stay away from the shoe racks.

    I wasn't brought up to "observe Lent" or give anything up, so I never have. I don't really see the point.
