So, you're doing water/juice only all day? :eek:

Thanks and don't I need it?

:eek: :eek: :eek: is right. LOL, It takes a lot of prayer!

Believe it or not there are some people who are only doing water for 30, 40 or 60 days!

I'm Episcopalian = Anglican
 
I've given up "giving up" something for Lent a long, long time ago. For the past decade or so, I've always tried to pray more & make more of the Lenten services. I try to make both services on Sundays (we have a 10:45a.m. regular mass & a 5p.m. Joint Lenten Service with participating congregations), a mid-week service and Friday's Stations of the Cross. Whew, but then again, what's giving God this time when I am so very, very blessed!

Have a fabulous Lent.

I also gave up eating out. Since I am a broke student, I don't have money to burn, YET I am at the coffeeshop EVERY day, Popeyes, Chilis, etc. Aside from wasting money, my waistline is paying for it. Therefore, only healthy, home prepared meals for me.
Same thing for 2007.

I'm Catholic and I gave up sugar and bread. Man I'm hungry... :rolleyes:

I'm Catholic, though not strictly practicing. I gave up alchohol. :) I feel so good not drinking.

I'm glad to see many of you ladies reserving the Lenten season in your own ways. I was discussing this topic with some friends from Baptist/Methodist churches and they were looking at me like I was an alien because I was a black Catholic. I told them were not such an anomaly of existence.

Anyhow back to the topic I gave up sweets and put some extra dedication into reflection on the blessing the Lord has bestowed upon me.

Catholic - I'm giving up snacking after dinner. It's a horrible habit of mine that I do out of boredom more than hunger.

I'm Baptist, but our church always fast 30 days prior to Easter for health, finance and family.

I'm giving beef, pork, fast foods, rice, and potatoes.

Anglican- Firstly I LOVE to eat. So I would suffer most form taking away my favourite foods. I gave up beef:( and for those of you familiar with it Conch:( :( . I'm Bahamian so giving up conch is like giving up water. Real hard man, real hard.

What are you going without for 40 days?

Even though I am not Catholic, it was always a tradition in our household to give up something. This year, I'm going without fried foods.












oh boy! :D

Sorors..............I'm from Southern Louisiana........a true creole at heart! I love our food and everything about my culture! I decided to give up ALL meat and seafood, and fried foods. Well my jouney has been hard but at the same time I FEEEEEEEL SO DAMN GOOD! I have more energy and anything that I was having problems with, I'm not having anymore. I think that I'll end up sticking with being a vegan and have meat and seafood every now and again.:D
