Lent

[XClown1986]

Started yesterday. Anybody decide to give up anything?

I'm not Catholic, or really religious at all, but I think that it is a good personal growth exercise.

I'm giving up alcohol and all fried foods. I made Day 1 my bitch, but it will only get harder. St. Patty's is going to be tough.

I gave up my sanity. So far, so good

[LifeisaGarden]

I'm not but my friend gave up FB & she is a Priest.

[dimbee]

Nope

It turned out to be a bad day to quit smoking crack, so, maybe tomorrow.

[Sapper]

I'll take up smoking and give that up

I thought about giving up the huddle and being more productive......that lasted about 7 seconds

I work with a guy that has given up sweets for lent. Cakes, cookies, desert type stuff basically. Instead of eating the pastry type deserts, now, he has switched to yogurt.

Here's where I started an argument... I think eating strawberry yogurt is no different than eating any other type of sweet desert. Just because it's supposedly good for you doesn't make it a "sweet". His "sacrifice" was to give up sweets, not unhealthy desserts.

Obviously he disagrees and thinks it's OK. What does The huddle think?

One other thing! I ask him what he drank with supper, he said tea (sweet). I started on him about that and he started getting pissed, so I left that one alone. What do y'all think?

Ehh, as long as he is eating healthier, I think that's his main cause. He just didn't vocalize his intentions very clearly. But he's making an effort to change his life for the better, at least for a short period of time so I wouldn't ride him too hard.

[Shufdog]

Yeah, I guess as long as he has his own good intentions I shouldn't ride him about it. I am testing his will though! My Mom sent me some homemade peanut butter cookies. I'm taunting him!!! :reddevil:

I gave up sex but relapsed this morning.....

[sharkkiller]
