Isn't what you decide to give up supposed to be just between you and God?
Yes0 -
Oh here come the snarky comments. All of which are totally respectful, completely original and have never been heard before.0

I am going to add a devotional practice, such as a daily meditation or asana practice.
Me, too I usually give something up, but doing something like that every single day will probably prove harder for me.0 -
I agree! The time is hard to give up.0

I am going to give up alcohol! I am not a huge drinker as is, but those calories can certainly add up without realizing it!
Good luck everyone
I am right there with u!! Too much wine. I am on board with the lent promise0 -

Dinner and/or eating after 3:30pm. Good luck everyone!
You're giving up a meal?! :noway:
EDIT: By the way, giving up sleeping in! Which for me, means getting up at 8:30 :blushing:0 -
Salty snacks.0

I talked to my mom about this, and she said I can't give up smoking for lent because I don't smoke so looks like it's chocolate!0

I have decided to give up Chips and French Frys. These are my most fav foods. Thinking that by giving them up I learn to eat healthier snacks and replace the FF's with a healthier choice when eating out.0

I've been giving up candy, desserts and in between meal snacks for years. When I want a snack... I think lent.... turning my thoughts to God. And when the Triduum arrives, I am anxious for Easter. Works for me.0

So glad to have found this post. I was going to just give up sweets and treats, but after reading I think I will do that and replace those craving moments with the daily Bible or other Christian reading to help me focus on the WHY of Lent. I'm not catholic, but do believe that the practice of Lent can cross all denominations as a way to give our Spiritual walk a re-boot, getting back to His Sacrifice as the benchmark.
I'm giving up Diet Dr. Pepper as part of this, which is always a super tough one for me. Any extra prayers would be so appreciated!0 -
I'm going to give up puddings! I've got into the bad habit of needing something sweet after my meals, going to take the opportunity to stop this haha0

Smoked salmon - one of my favorite foods - too much sodium0

Nay. I don't feel anything is coming between my relationship with God so there's nothing for me to give up. I have my quite devotional time with Him every day but I will focus on His sacrifice and His gift to us in Lent. Lent is like Advent. It's preparing my heart and mind for the big event.0
