Are You Giving Up Anything for Lent?

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

I really want to give something up for Lent........I have it narrowed down to dark chocolate or Coca Cola.
What are you giving up this year?

I have given up all soda, alcohol (after a week w/ 8th graders sometimes I need a drink) and I am adding walking the dog every day.

8th graders??? Maybe you should add back the alcohol.....
I have decided I am a Coca Cola addict so this is going to be a tough one.

Buying out lunches and drinks for the 40 days while at work or play. But this will end when we go to WDW due to the circumstances. I can't bring my own lunch to WDW while the rest of the family is eating on the DDP. Can't live without dolewhips and carrot cake from MK.

I haven't decided yet. I gave up all sweets when I went on my diet Jan 1st. I don't have much else to give up. Maybe I'll try to do extra nice things for people instead.

I gave up ice cream for most of Lent, but our WDW trip is during Lent, so I have given myself permission to cheat "if the Spirit moves me" at WDW. Can I do that?? I'll probably stick to it though.

I am also a Coke (soda) addict and I am giving it up! I started on Tuesday and so far, so good!

My big downfall is cookies

I'm giving ALL cookies up for Lent! We are in the middle of selling Girl Scout cookies (I'm a Brownie Leader) and I had order ALOT of cookies. I stuff myself Tuesday night

Anyway ... maybe I'll drop a few pounds in the next 40 days of not eating those delicious ... yummy .... GS cookies (and regular cookies too)

I'm sure my kids are glad that mom isn't hording the cookies now

Well, the old joke among southern Catholics is to give up watermelon during Lent.

More seriously, I'm giving up soda (mainly diet coke), eating out, and I'm going to pray one set of the Rosary every work day (on the drive to work).

Giving up sweets here. Hopefully, with cutting sweets and it FINALLY getting warm and thawed out enough outside for walking, I can lose this excess poundage. Goal is not have my thighs rubbing together when I am touring the world

Our family gave up fast food. Should be interesting on the 18 hour drive down to WDW.

I couldn't think of anything that would make that much of an impact, then DH suggested the Dis. I thought about it, but I just can't. Looks like it will be chocolate.

Hi everyone,

I too am giving up chocolate. It is not that I eat alot of junk, but I do eat stuff every day that contains some form of chocolate. No more hot chocolate for me....
