View Full Version : Shrove Tues = Ash Weds = Lent = Giving Up?
I know many people aren't religious here, so if this thread offends anyone I am sorry...
Just wondered if anyone is giving something up for Lent?
I know the whole 'if you are giving up something it shouldn't be 'because its the new year/Lent etc' argument may rise its head.... but I just wondered if anyone was going to :)
I'm thinking about giving up excess sugar... how dumb does that sound? :p
Anyone?

I'll give up on not farting....should be easy enough :D
I am going to give up chocolate and crisps! I don't normally eat much of either but if it's in the house I do have a tendency to pick at a packet Pickers may have :)
So yup. *waves good bye to chocolate and crisps*
I was tempted by alcomahol too... will see how much will power I have though!
*edit* and biscuits!
I'm going to give up being a fat knacker and get back to serious exercising.
I'm going to give up ©The Fear.
LIES!
I'm giving up working hard for a living :p
I'm going to give up ©The Fear.
Really!?! REALLY!?
Kate you ready to pounce?
I should give up mine too. Like I said - I'll do you a deal - if we lock ourselves in a tiny room and you keep throwing a doll at me I will keep running towards you for hugs (or to beat the living poop out of you to stop you from throwing dolls)
;D
I'm going to give up the easy life by choosing to work full time instead.........no one mention that it hasn't really got anything to do with Lent :p :D
Really!?! REALLY!?
Kate you ready to pounce?
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
:evil:
He loved it really ;)
I don't have to give anything up in the run up to the Equinox but it's apparently a good time to detox. Anyway I re-started my diet a few weeks ago so I'll just be continuing the healthy eating!!!
/scoffs pancakes.....

What do you reckon to some booby slappage instead of the hugs? I think you'll agree they're more fun ;D
I'm also giving up contact with BD members, just in case. :p

I don't drink alcohol at the moment so I can't give that up. I don't eat junk food so I can't give that up... I don't drink fizzy drinks so neither that. Hmmm.... Give up the gym?! nah I couldn't cope with that! I'll give up looking at forums during work! There you go that's a good one. :)

I might give up saying I'll give stuff up as I never do and seems a bit of a waste and let down.
I had my first cup of tea without sugar this morning.. it tasted rank!
I'm going to be mess without my fix of sugar...
Might give up excess fats aswell...hhhmmmm...! That means virtually everything!!
Give up crisps? That I could try! Choc I don't really eat anyway...

I've never been able to get used to tea without sugar. Tried cold turkey method and cutting down and neither worked. I think I just like my tea sweetened :)

Yeah right.. I can smell your farts from my house.. Good excuse to pass the blame "ahh it wasn't me.."
I'm going to give up being a fat knacker and get back to serious exercising.
If you're Miss Fat Knackers then I'm Bob the builder on poppers!
I'm giving up looking a womens feet, legs and gym thongs!..
I'm also going to give up having sex, become a monk and stop having stiffies.. that shouldn't be to hard.. to hard haha get it get it :p
I gave up chocolate for about 4 years a while back. Lent owes me ;)
Oh aye, I've been back on the stuff for over a year :D I thought it was causing my migraines about 5 years ago so quit instantly. It wasn't, so went back instantly :D I know I won't get a migraine from eating or wearing it ;)
Mei - you could always give up pancakes? ;)
Not sure... :( pancakes are more of something that I take advantage of rather than a want to have.
Plus loads of excess sugar there, so I guess thats a yes then :(
Booooooooo!
Although it really tastes rank... I am going to continue to give up sugar, excess... in my tea etc
Excess salt
Excess butter... meaning a little only on bread if it needs it
Crisps too... this is going to be a fun month! :D
