    1: Lent: HA! You're joking
    2: Just give the whole choclate jamborie up, want to lose extra pounds
    3: Give up anything that's labelled junk
    4: Give up certain things here and there(e'g' Choc biscuits, white choclate etc.)

    I'm a Lent: Ha! You're joking fella now, but as a kid I would give up sweets entirely, but continueing buying them all the same. By Easter to go with the eggs also have a collection of sweets to add to the sick stomach.

    I used to do that too! We were allowed a day off Lent on Mother's Day and Patricks Day, I would eat sooo much chocolate on those 2 days :D

    This year I'm going to cut back on the crisps and chocolate and try not to eat so much of them.

    Lent? WHAT-EVVERRRRR! I'll be trying to increase on my daily sweet intake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭Mysteryfish


    I'm not religious so I don't do lent usually, but i might try to cut back on how much sugar i eat. So I guess I'm a number 4 then.

    I used to give up sweets and fizzy drinks for lent as a kid, but as I got older I never really gave a toss about Lent or religion.

    However, since my grandad died, he was a pioneer all his life, I simply give up the booze in his memory for Lent, have been doing it every year since he passed away, and intend to continue doing it!

    I used to give up sweets and if someone bought me some, which they usually did, id hide them away and have a massive sweet feast after Lent :D Dont bother with it these days, gone off religion heh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 169 ✭✭Gossip_girl


    I'm not very religious but after going to a christian primary school and secondary school it's kinda drilled into you to give up something for lent. I'm normally a 3 or 4. I start with good intentions and stuff but it never really lasts. I'm trying really hard this year so you never know........... :)

    I think I'd better close this before we have every parish priest in the country trying to convert the lot of ye!
