Lent 2026 - Throw your vices onto the pile

[Hojicha]

I'm not religious at all but I'm doing Lent in retaliation of Ramadan.
I will be giving up SODA POPS

 

[Motherf*cker]

I generally give up and I hereby forfit what's left of my soul to Oscar the grouch.

Failed Lent already. Not cut out for it. Truly I am dust.

When you fall, get back on your feet and start again. The fight is hard, it may not be the last time you fall, but don't give up.

It's my first time doing Lent. I'm progressively trying to reduce my food intake, I can't go full fasting with my health concerns, but so far I've successfully reduced it to one meal without meat or fish and two bread slices. I'm also reading the gospels and praying every evening before going to sleep. The most hard part for me is becoming more charitable. I'm going to ask again the priest to see if he has something I can do to help. Also, I know I am falling again in my usual sins, but the fight against them is not limited to Lent, it just feels harder when I feel I have so much to do.

I've given up saying and typing slurs

I did that with swearing once to class up my act and was shocked by how much I and others use them as filler words. Easier said than done.

conception dates coincided with the week around Easter

Well it is a purification ritual and Spring is the time to plant seeds
Even in modern times women will use it to quit some thing that may harm baby, and then get knocked up.

Unfortunately I have no vices so there is nothing for me to give up.

 

[Shapes]

Bleached refined sugar. Very much enjoy my quick goto things, coffee at the corner, etc. I'll just have to be sweet enough on my own.

I want to lose 20 pounds so I have to pizza. Plus track my calories.

 

[conodont]

I've done what I've done normally. Broke the daily fast today with bayaynatu, which will be my only meal of the day. I've given up khat and coffee for this Great Lent, which is what I do every time. I barely use the internet at all, nor do I masturbate or lustfully look at women. Stay strong, we'll make it through.

You know...? Challenge accepted.

ETA: @MrTroll then take something on to progress yourself spiritually if you can't think of something to give up.

 

[Brahma]

I'm doing the usual no added sugar I usually pull out but I always add something too so I've a very short calisthenics routine I'm adding to my morning and evening

I got your exercise regimen right here boss

 

[Pina Colada]

I'm giving up chocolate, and in extension, excessive snacking in between meals for Lent. It's gonna be tough, but I have apples and sugar-free ice pops to keep my sweet tooth at bay.

tbh sounds like you'll want one of these for Lent.



Apple Cider Vinegar and NAC will help with the cravings.

[FattyMcFatterson]

Im not Catholic. Grew up around LDS family and Lent wasnt a thing.

I notice meat is on sale, so I buy more of that. Not getting sale chocolate though, cause Im up to 55 kilos (at 5 foot 3) so I guess Im abstaining from that.

 

[Sooty Soot]

I've already cheated by following the letter of the law, it hit midnight on Sunday so I threw my hands up and said that it's technically Sunday so I could eat meat. Lord knows it's not the hunger that's the struggle but the deprivation of the palate.
