I'm thinking of giving up Peanut Butter but...well I simply don't know if I'm strong enough to do that.
I gave up smoking and drinking one year, and compared to this that seems like nothing...yeah I've got problems .
So what, if anything, do you guys have planned?

I'm planning to give up meat. Mainly to encourage myself to do more diverse recipes rather than relying on the meat to make the meal.0

LENT! 2 weeks away, so here is what I am giving up: self control, abstinence, & sobriety in addition to speaking to people I don't like.
And tofu.... :devil:
Shouldn't be too difficult.0 -
I'm gonna clean it out of my dryer and my belly button.0

I am not a religious one so don't really do lent however giving up meat sounds like a good healthy plan, i might try that for lent0

I may actually give up alcohol. I'll continue to make it, but I may give up drinking it for a bit. Seems it sabotages my weight loss!

I'm not particularly religious... more spiritual and chose my particular faith because I love the traditions and rituals... like Lent. I've been following a pretty strict diet this past month to jumpstart my diet (Gluten-free, vegan with no alcohol and very limited added sweeteners be it sugar or artificial).
One of the things I've been missing, in part of a social thing is girly-drink night with my girlfriends. We were getting together once or twice a week to make all sorts of high calorie vodka based martinis like "Lemon Meringue Pie" or "Birthday Cake". Given I've already been missing these (and they're not good for me)... I think for Lent I will give this up for 40 days.0 -
I'm not religious either. Lent is just a good size time period to try out your willpower. I usually give up chocolate but I can do that fairly easily now so it's not a challenge!0

Yes, it IS almost here. I'll be having a lot more fish.0

To those thinking of giving up meat: I did that once. I actually gained weight but it was because all I ate was pasta and baked potatoes! HAHA!
I'm thinking I might try giving up alcohol. I have significantly reduced my intake over the past couple months, but I think it would be a neat challenge.0 -
I don't believe in all that religious psycho babble- but I did come up with some ideas anyway.......
1 .I could give up shopping- or not! It's supposed to be a sacrifice not a death sentence, right? Besides, Target and my credit card company would think something horrible had happened to me! Why put them through unneeded stress and worry....
2. Video games maybe- but what would my life be like without killing a bunch of my friends on the battlefield? Boring!
3. I could give up swearing but that would be too easy since I don't ever swear now- better yet, I could take on more swearing- have the mouth of a trucker maybe.... Well it's goddam mother ****ing lent- lets have some fish!
4. I've thought about giving up being a friend/family member - just saying **** it to everyone and see what happens then. To be able to say- Sorry, not my problem right now- I gave up being ME for Lent!0 -

I've been toying with the idea of giving up coffee for Lent. Im just afraid that I might kill someone...0

Being Catholic ... lol0

I might do french fries again, it's my weakness0

I'm ashamed to admit that I sneak Diet Cokes when I'm out. It's my vice. I think I need to get off the Diet Coke, so I'm doing it for Lent. Hopefully I won't ever go back to it.0

PROBABLY SWEET TEA... THATS MY WEAKNESS0

I haven't thought too much about it yet... maybe swearing, since my 2 year old has picked up a couple naughty words! :noway:
I could try to give up cupcakes because they are my biggest weakness and I usually can't go any longer than 2 weeks without one... but I have several birthdays between now and Easter so that would really test me...
But I guess I need to get on the ball and get something pinpointed down. Thanks for the reminder!0 -
