What are you giving up?

 

Are you religious? 

 

I like to challenge myself, and while I'm not religious in the least bit, I like to try and give-up something for 40 days each year.

 

 

I haven't decided yet.

[Fikri]

can someone tell me what's lent?

Lent Begins today: Ash Wednesday March 5th.

Lent Ends: Thursday April 17th.

I'm going to start drinking heavily so I have something to give up for next year.

oh muslims have this kind of tradition too where we're fasting from dusk to dawn for a month. i'm not religious too but i do it anyway. would be awkward to eat when everybody is fasting. plus, i heard it gives the digestive system a rest.

I'm having a hard time deciding what to give up. Last year I gave up soda and the struggle was real.

I gave up Reddit at midnight :'( Already miss it terribly.

 

Went to mass at 8:45 this morning too, so I guess I'm also giving up sleep.

I could give up soda, as long as I still drink coffee.. but giving up caffeine completely would kill me.

I've given up most of my bad habits this year already tbh.

[NapisaurusRex]

We usually do. This is the first year ever that I remember skipping Ash Wednesday church. (I'm pretty sure we're skipping it, since I'm still sick and it's still icy)

 

I don't know what I'm giving up yet. I should decide now.

 

Corn? Probably corn.

any special reason behind giving up corn? do you eat it a lot?

[Elindoril]

I'd probably give up soda if I didn't have my soda-gorging girlfriend staying with me right now.

Yes, I'm a fucking addict. It's in everything I love, Dr Pepper, Taco Bell, ibuprofin.

I don't really drink coffee so it was basically giving up caffeine, it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I wouldn't count corn syrup that would be way too difficult its in practically everything nowadays

I guess Passover would be the Jewish equalievent to lent. We give up anything with yeast in it.
If that makes no sense: if I celebrated lent, I'd give up cookies.

[anewvision]

I'm giving up giving something up for lent... Ba-ZING!!!.... did someone say that already??? I hope not

[Eefi]

Giving up any free time to work on my thesis x_X" It has nothing to do with Lent or whatever though.

When are you getting married and making little weeaboobies? I'm ready.

When are you getting married and making little weeaboobies? I'm ready.

When I can afford to give up my sanity.

I'm not really sure (I don't really wanna have kids until I know I'm ready for it <3), but hopefully we'll be able to move in together soon so that'll be amazing!!! <3

I'm giving up soda...it's the nectar of the gods, but oh so bad for you...

 

Also LoL...I play it entirely too much

[Applepi]

I'm not religious, but if I did the whole lent thing, I'd give up netflix. I spend entirely way too much time watching tv when I should be studying for my boards.

I can hardly keep up with you as is.
