Lent: What are you giving up?

For the Christians, anybody giving up anything for this Lent season?

I started out eating less (3 meals a day only) but I got sick to my stomach. The stretch from lunch (12) to dinner (8) got me really weak. I am use to snacking in btw meals but can't do this. I also gave up myspace - holla!! I'd give up VSC but im a mod so I can't :giggity:

Trying to fast either on Friday or Sunday and giving up dinner 3 days out of the week. So far it's been a hit and miss..Some weeks I'm good, some others it's a no go..

I don't eat meat on Fridays, but I'm used to it. I'm slowly turning into a vegetarian and hopefully a vegan. Just don't have the will power sometimes to stay away from refined foods and dairy products.. I love my cheese!!

Watch this vid , if your concerned about your health, and you'll know why..

I am giving up nothing, but improving myself such as being less of a asshole and stuff.

I'm not Christian and was unaware it was lent time, but I'm laying off the unhealthy foods as much as possible.

This is hard living in a city like ours. We were named the fattest city of the nation, which is probably the fattest city of the world. :pat:
