What are giving up for Lent?

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Inky_Wretch, Feb 24, 2009.

  1. Fast food, pop and sodomy.

    On the possibilities list: SportsJournalists.com, caffeine, gossip, crappy concession food ...

    Problem is, lent is always during HS basketball playoffs, when I need all of the above to survive...

    I'm not religious (at all), but I like the idea of giving up something for 40 days as a test of willpower. Apparently mine sucks, though, because I usually make it to day nine or 10 and say 'ah, eff it.'

    At least I have a few more hours to decide what I might follow through on this year.

    What he said, except add the word "do" between the words "don't" and "the." </crabby ex-editor> :D

    Soda. Trying to cut back to just water and juice. Hopefully that will help me get my diet back under control.

    Gave up Catholicism and religion about two years ago. I used to fast hardcore though usually having just a biscuit to eat all day on certain days during Lent. To be honest it really prepared me for going long periods without eating, but "spiritually" I got nothing out of it.

    The golf and small animals, I can see, but let's not go talking crazy here.
