Re: Do you observe Lent? if so, what are you giving up this year?

I've tried giving up chocolate and Diet Coke (because I drink too much and it's not good for me), but the headaches from caffeine withdrawal. And the repeated failures to stick it out make me feel like... well, a failure. So maybe I should try to think up something realistic as well. :)

Look, I don't want to be antagonistic, but isn't changing your behavior kind of the point?? Instead of focusing on "giving up" something only to put it right back into your life right after Lent's over, why not look at it as a way to improve your habits? Don't quit caffeine cold-turkey, you've got a chemical dependency. Set a goal for Lent to lessen the amount of it you consume, and maybe decrease it a bit for each week. Make yourself healthy in body and spirit, and don't beat yourself up if you slip because the struggle is all part of it; just keep trying. :)

nayrt

Yes, you're absolutely correct. The point of Lent is not to give up something that's easy for you and requires no effort to go without. It's supposed to be a hardship. You're supposed to struggle with it a little. I think it's silly, but I'm not religious. I don't know why people would want to do this for religious reasons and then undermine the whole exercise, though.
