No. While I do go to church, I'm not sure that I believe everything I hear.
Not to sound rude, but I'll be giving up what's left of my sanity. Lent is the busiest time of the year for us, I'll be pulling my hair out every Friday.
No, but I will be praying more.
I've already given up my waistline & my youth....what more does God want from me?!?!?!
I've given up so much already, what else is there to give up!?
Nope! I was raised Catholic untill about the 2nd grade and we did back then. Since then we've attended a non-denominational Christian church so no more lent. I do miss the good fish fries all over the town where I grew up though!
I'm not religious so I don't give anything up. I used to try to when I was a kid but it never lasted long.
Nope, I always say that I am going to give something up and it never works
No i don't, but my MIL used to give up chocolate every year and never caved in
No, i'm not Catholic
You give up something up that you love for 40 days and 40 nights, such as chocolate, wine etc...
I should give up eating
but I won't.
I shall be giving up giving anything up this year.........I am rubbish at it and have the willpower of a flea
Same with me, I am a BaptistOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

I'll enjoy a tasty pancake but as a lapsed Catholic I will enjoy testing anyone around me's faith by scoffing more grubbings than ever
I wish anyone luck over Lent (or Ramadan- which will be especially difficult this year in England as it hits more of the summer months) as it is incredibly hard to deprive yourself of anything in the modern world

Lent is the 40 Days and Nights preceding the holy week of Easter. It is a time when those who practice the Catholic faith give up something for the full 40 days. Some people give up decadent things such as Chocolate or personal things such as giving up swearing. It is almost like a shorter version of a new year resolution.
I plan on donating my time to the locan animal shelter at least once a week. I have been putting it off for a while. I used to volunteer there when I had more time while in school.
The three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigor during Lent are prayer (justice towards God), fasting (justice towards self), and almsgiving (justice towards neighbor). Today, some people give up something they enjoy, and often give the time or money spent doing that to charitable purposes or organizations.
