Hello ILPeeps!

I’m giving up a few things for lent;

  1. Meat
  2. Sweets
  3. Soda

It may not seem like much, but each one is a sacrifice for me.
Is anyone else out there devout/ deluded/ masochistic enough to give up anything?
If you haven’t yet, it’s not too late to start. Ash Wednesday is only two days past, Easter is in 45 days. There’s plenty of good fasting time left!

Shalom!

Q,

When I was a sophomore in high school, I gave up meat for lent. Eight years later, I am still a vegetarian. I am no longer Catholic.

That was a funny post.

I’ve given up all green vegetables, mainly to see if I can survive it…

I remember someone I know gave the quid response “I’m giving up your mom for Lent.”

=D> :smiley:

Some things are easier to stick with than others.
I started giving up things for lent back in high school, when I called myself an atheist. I persisted in abstaining through my agnostic days. Now that I call myself a Lutheran, I’m still giving up for lent.

Best!

You’re young, you can do it. Just make sure that you get plenty of bread. Liquid bread will do.

She’ll be disappointed!

Soda, I didn’t actually decide this until just now, but I realized that I haven’t drank any soda in the past week.

If it’s a sacrifice, then it counts.
Thanks, gecota, you’re the first poster to give up something. I was beginning to feel alone.

My friend Andy tried to be a vegetarian once. He lasted like… two days. He blames orange chicken.

Every type of Chinese or Asian fare I have ever tried tastes ~way~ better with tofu. With tofu, you know it’s tofu. Since “everything” tastes like chicken, you can’t be sure it’s chicken.

Lent’s more than halfway through and I still haven’t broken it!
How’re you doing, gecota?

<== Trying to give up sarcasm, tasteless jokes, and overly-contrived puns.

i’ve noticed that the amount of time someone stays vegetarian is inversely related to how many times they write “VEGETARIAN 4 LIFE” on all their stuff (or how many times a day they tell people they’re vegetarian)

I’m actually doing pretty well, haven’t broken yet, but I’ve had a few close calls, it’s just too accecable for me.

I’m giving up:

How’s that goin’ for ya.

Crackin’ :smiley:
