Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / February 2006What are you giving up for Lent?
Hey all- I am not even catholic but I like the theory of giving up something for Lent-minus the big Mardi Gras blowout of course ;-) But the thing is....seems like I have given up every thing anyhow?? Most everyone I know is giving up sweets or soda---- looking for some ideas..... What do 'Dieters' give up for Lent??? D How about giving up some more of the weight that I don't want anyway. While some individuals think that it is necessary to give up something that you desire, my belief is that it is better to give up something (negative) that you don't want and in doing so you are making a positive difference in your life. > Hey all- > I am not even catholic but I like the theory of giving up something for > Lent-minus the big Mardi Gras blowout of course ;-) > But the thing is....seems like I have given up every thing anyhow?? > Most everyone I know is giving up sweets or soda---- looking for some > ideas.....

What do 'Dieters' give up for Lent??? Just for clarification, for liturgical Western Christians, Mardi Gras (aka Carnival or "farewell to meat") is the day before the beginning of Lent. For me, the Lenten season is a time for soul-searching, repentance, and reflection. This article, http://www.kencollins.com/hope-23.htm, I think is a good explanation of what Christians hope to accomplish in observing Lent. Matthew meat...fish...dairy |
