AvaFern 3,516 Posted February 16, 2015 The 40 days of Lent has always been a great excuse for me to use a little religious guilt to give up some form of food for 40 days. My dad gives up beer, my mom gives up sweets, my sister gives up ice cream, and I inevitably give up something ridiculous like soda, sweets, or junk food in general. Last year was the first Lent I was sleeved and I didn’t give anything up because I didn’t feel like I needed to- I was eating healthy as it was and losing weight. This year I am very close to goal and having a really hard time hitting those last few pounds, so Lent seems like a great time to give something up to get on track to lose the last little bit. Anybody else making a 40 day sacrifice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichiganChic 3,262 Posted February 16, 2015 I used to give up fast food, and forced my family to, as well. They hated it, lol. Now I don't eat fast food. I don't know what I could give up....I don't eat any of the usual lent suspect like pop, candy, Cookies, etc. Perhaps I'll give up cussing....but I really hate to! Maybe I could give up coffee, but I love my coffee. So, I suppose the cussing would be the actual best for my soul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mbstas 57 Posted February 17, 2015 I am also going to use Lent to try to get my last 10 pounds off. I plan to restrict my eating to just the three meals a day with no Snacks. On fast days I will have one meal along with 2 Protein Shakes a day, one for Breakfast and one more for lunch. That should help keep my Protein levels up.
