Lent sacrifice?

[CEcyclone]

One year I went the entire lent period with no meat. I got really tired of p b and j sandwiches, and fish.

I've thought about doing this. Then I realize how much I love meat...

Had a coworker do this a few years back. He told me the first couple weeks were rough, but after that, it wasn't so bad.

When Lent was over that year, we went to a churrascaria.

I gave up pop one year in hs and really have never drank it much since.

This year I'm going to attempt to give up beer. I'm pretty fit/skinny as it is but I'd like to see the outcome.

I'm going to give up alcohol, but I'm not going to be devastated if I fail.

In my efforts to support the struggling Italian fishing industry, I will recognize the season giving up a few of my own hard earned dollars in exchange for all the seafood I can eat on a Friday.

Sweets, all of them.

I haven't given up anything since I was a freshman in high school. Lent is kind of a silly idea.

Two things I'm going to try to give up are swearing and saying negative things about people. We'll see how that goes.

Maybe you should give up wearing pants with gaping holes in the crotch.

I'm giving up pop and chocolate.

I'm giving up Alcohol & Pop, but instead of lent I'm just doing it for the month of February. Shortest month gives me a fighting chance of it stickin.....I really want a beer right now. :sad:

Giving up eating between meals/snacking.

It's about bettering yourself as a person. There's nothing silly about that. I don't even look at it in a religious way.

If you don't continue it after the 40 days, the "bettering" is minimal.

You just want to be ready to roll for March madness.

I was trying to decide what to give up for lent and need some help. I'm thinking about giving up pop but open to other suggestions. What are other CF'ers giving up?

How about ......
a) saying a rosary each day.
b) visiting the sick in local hospitals
c) volunteer at church services.
d) attend the stations of the cross.
e) Pray for a friends special concerns.

I tried that a few years ago. Didn't make it much more than a few weeks.
