    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone gave up anything for Lent, and if so, what?

    This year I gave up desserts and pasta because they are major temptations for me! I have given up sweets only once before, and have never given up more than one thing, so this will definitely be tough! 

    Im curious to see what anyone has chosen to give up. Please feel free to share!

    Nothing for me this year. I opted for Febfast this year, I gave up chocolate for 28 days. Pure torture!

    Good luck Nat!

    Thanks, and good for you! Unfortunately, chocolate is just ONE of the many things I'm giving up in the dessert category. Let's hope I survive!

    I am not Catholic but Lent is a tradition I like to follow to get me on track especially if i have not kept my New Year's resolution which I didn't! For sure I would fail if I gave up sweets not to mention I'd prolly go through major sugar withdrawals! I love to swim so I promised myself that I would do laps every single day for one solid hour. So far so good!

    Good for you, Lips! I don't think I had a resolution this year, but if I did, I obviously didn't stick to it because I can't even remember! The sweets have been tough, but still going strong. 

    I love swimming also, but haven't gone in a while. I should get back into it. Good luck!

    Hey NatSteph growing up in a strict Catholic household lent was something i never looked forward to. Nowadays it is a challenge to stick to giving one thing up. I said i would give up smoking but after the first day and a couple brewskies i ended up outside bumming a smoke. Wish you the best on sticking to your promise.

    Ugh I'm horrible. I didn't give up anything this year. I'm still recovering from quitting smoking last year. Coming up on one year next month! You're being hard on yourself Nat. Pasta? I'm not sure I'd survive.

    Thanks! At least you made the effort to try. One day it will click if it's truly something you wish to do for yourself. Nothing wrong with a couple of brewskies! 

    And @Feelin froggy, that's not an easy thing to do, congrats to one year!
