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 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!

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

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 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'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 :)

I'm going to give up being a fat knacker and get back to serious exercising.

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
