What are you giving up for lent?

[deadheadbelle]

cursing & yelling. This is going to be tough!

Not so much giving up as trying to do better....trying to be more reflective daily and keeping up with my prayer habit. I tend to forget it until I come to the CB!!! Thanks for helping me.

Despite my Catholic roots, I haven't actively practiced in years, but I do still try to mend my ways during Lent. I actually thought about giving up cola this year, as it's a horrible addiction of mine, but I already messed that up and drank some today.

If I could swing giving up chocolate without ending up an axe murderer due to hormonal cravings, I think that would really be saying something. I think maybe I'll give it a try.

I am not giving up anything. I am going to be more focused on prayer and what I do for others.

I'm giving up sweets.

I thought about sweets but narrowed it down to all kinds of candy. I fell off the diet wagon yesterday and bought a bag of peanut M&Ms--but God knew better and there were peanut BUTTER M&Ms in the slot they are normally in, so I was in for a rude taste surprise. I ended up throwing half the bag away and figuring it was a sign!
I am also thinking about trying to fast on Fridays except for fruit and water, but don't know if that will work.
BTW I'm a methodist but I enjoy this annual test of will!!
