Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

Since I asked I will also answer..I'm giving up one of my worst addictions...COOKIES. This may have been a bad choice considering my order for Girl Scout cookies will be arriving any day now

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

not giving anything up, more along the lines of taking something on - i'm making a promise to go to church every sunday of Lent and hopefully I'll get into the habit and continue after Easter is over

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I have to think about what to give up......I'll get back to you.

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I have to think abt it also .... Im thinking of being a better person more so than giving up a food. I think when you give up food, you try to substitute the craving with something else - at least i do - i gave up candy one yr - and started eating gum .... then i gave up gum and was always eating choc ... etc etc

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I'm giving junk food, including soda up, cookies, candy or chips. I'm on the fence about ice cream b/c two of my brothers bdays fall at lent so I have to see how strong I am come this sunday.

Also you can freeze girl scout cookies. Maybe wrap the box in tin foil so everytime you open the freezer it's not staring you in the face.

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I have an addiction to diet soda. I drink about 4 or 5 cans a day. I am going to go down to 1 a day.

my fat stomach.

I'm joining a gym today.

(I've had a trial membership for the last month)

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I have to think about it.. There's a LOT of things I know I should give up, smoking, junk food, swearing.. but I would probably die without any of these things right now!! hmmmm..

oh and PS.. I ate ALL my girl scout cookies already!!

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I am giving up Dunkin' Donuts coffee. I am just about addicted to the stuff. I am also making a committment to go to church every Sunday during Lent.

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

Not giving up anything, but I am going to try to make an effort to go to church every week and to pray a lot more.

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

I was actually thinking about it while in church this morning. I'll let you know when I decide.

Agreed with the church, I have been really slacking since wedding planning, but its no excuse. I was thinking about giving up meat

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

You are a brave, brave, soul!!!!

Re: Catholic Girls..What Are You Giving Up For Lent?

Well...I normally give up junk food, or alcohol, or something just bad for me. But because of my diet, I have given up soo much, that when I have the urge, I am going to need those outlets to treat myslef otherwise you'll find me in a corner gouging a box of twinkies!!!

So...since there is no food to give up. I have signed up to volunteer twice a week at the soup kitchen. I start this sunday. I am very excited about it and already went to my,well I guess I can call it orientation, basically they showed me around and I got to meet the director. I feel like giving my time to those in need is a good thing for lent, and I've never done it before. I'm very excited and already feel good about it.
