I admire you for your courage to give up sweets. I gave up eating pizza for the lenten season because I love pizza and eat it three times a week!

My wife has a huge problem with spending on clothing. I need to get her to give up or just spend less time shopping this Lent

I am not catholic, but several of my friends are. On friend said to me”even though you are not Catholic, Lent is a good bandwagon to jump on”. I gave up facebook

I couldn’t agree more with Credit Card Girl. Sweets are hard to give up…my wife is trying to go all through lent with no sugar. I like thanks

Giving up sweets and desserts is definitely one of the best things you can do for yourself health wise. If you’re serious about losing weight these are the first things that have to go. Refined white sugar serves no nutritional purpose whatsoever, and is highly addictive. So much so that it is the most widely abused drug in the world….

I commend you for giving up sweets! Don’t drink soda either!

Regarding watching TV – it is one of the liberating experience for me. It makes me feel complete in control because you don’t know how much brainwashing power the media has on us!

While I definitely appreciate the fact that you are sacrificing for lent, please remember that a “sacrifice” does not necessarily mean “giving up” something. I feel that too many Catholics have this line of thought.

In any case, I’m not bashing. You have a good goal for Lent, and I hope you achieve it. I just wanted to be informative.

I couldn’t agree more with Credit Card Girl. Sweets are hard to give up…my wife is trying to go all through lent with no sugar. I’m her biggest fan.

How about replacing your ben and jerry’s with the occasional gelato instead?

As long as you are giving up something and it is meaningful to you then I think that counts as a sacrifice. Good luck.

Oh my! Sweets are so hard to give up! For lent this year, I will be giving up shopping and instead donating my shopping money to a charitable cause because there’s no good in giving something up if it doesn’t serve a bigger purpose(like helping someone else) in my opinion. Also, I will be volunteering each Saturday at a homeless shelter as well.
