I always give up food related things on holidays or whatever. Last Lent I went vegetarian, new years I went vegan . . .I think I'll give up soda and coffee just for lent. It's like the only unhealthy habit I have left . . .

So sorry If I understood bad this... We´re Catholics (Gema & I ) and we don´t eat meat all fridays until the holy week... During the holy week repeat the same Thurday, Friday & Saturday holy days.

I don't observe this, but my best friend does and I love to tease her with the things she gives up for Lent. (It's usually chocolate, coffee, etc.) I'm so mean!

I do observe Ash Wednesday. As for giving something up, I think that's often perceived as some favourite food item, or favourite activity, or... I prefer to think of it as a way to be intentional about changing some habit or practice that I'm not happy with or feel undisciplined/sloppy about. I'll admit I haven't really thought about what that might be this year -- thanks for the reminder.

I'm giving up chocolate.

Never heard of it so can't say I give anything up.

I am not Catholic, but like to give up something each year in honor of Lent. This year, I'm giving up worrying.

No i'm not. My mother in law gives up chocolate for those 40 days and nights. I don't know how she does it
