What Would You Give Up?

[Noodle]

Hi Geeks

As today is Ash Wednesday, I was just wondering if you had to choose to give something up for Lent, what would it be ?

I think I would have to give up my addiction to Snack-a-Jack rice cakes - I can't get enough of them, and don't care what flavour they are either ! :lol:

PS: I wish I could also give up cursing other drivers that don't thank you when you've just given way to them !

I am giving (trying anyway) up red vino. More to help my waistline but it would be nice to last the 6 weeks of Lent too!

i am giving up danish pastries.........everyweek i go to tesco and buy the pack of five from the bakery 1 for me 1 for rob and one each for the boys...............and i end up eating the whole lot..all the time...i have got to stop,
so thats what i am giving up for lent.......and not to nag rob

I'm giving up wheat, choccy and biscuits, but during the week only. I have a food intolerance to wheat and high sugar (so in particular processed wheat like white bread, white pasta etc), so it will actually do me good to give it up, but my will power is pretty pants!
Treating myself at the weekend cos I know I will never stick it otherwise, plus our main food at the weekend is tea, cake and crumpets, so I'd have nothing to eat!!
Fingers crossed maybe with that and a bit of exercise I'll drop my target 11lb in the 6 weeks....

Hiya

I'd like to say alcohol of any description (if i have drunk everything i like i go to desperate measures like Whisky and Dry Ginger) my grandad used to drink that now i am not saying i'm an alcholic but when you've worked all day then come home to work and have a family i like a nice drink when kids in bed, it's me time, so no i dont think i could give that up........................i could easily give up chocolate no problemo!!!!!!! oh and sex:wink2: only joking, right that's me then no choc till easter!!!!!!!! Oh and eating late!!! thats a huge problem for me!!!!

I know that giving things up for Lent should be food based, but I wish I could give up being a worry wart and have more confidence in my work, and stop assuming the worst!!!

The Playstation! Although I'm not on it that much at the moment because I've completed the game I got for christmas.

Definitely need to give up spending money due to having no income at the moment!
