Such as lent, I didn't even realise it was that time of year!

It's easy to spot... pancake day is the day you're supposed to stock up on calories ready for the Lent fasting. These days though we just binge on pancakes in order to, er... get a bit more lardy. :-)

I tried to give up booze but it didn’t work out.

My sister gave up tea, coffee, coke, snacking, sweets and what not... only drank water and had three meals a day, the money she saved went to charity, I'm a proud brother

No, I don't think I'll bother, there are too many bizarre rules e.g. Lent

I DIDN'T GIVE UP ALCOHOL FOR RELIGIOUS REASON, I DID IT BECAUSE JESUS IS LEET AND GOD TOLD ME......I wanted to prove a point to myself, I don't care if it sounds gay, I would like a lot of people on here to give up something they enjoyed and do it for 45 days, it was epic, I did it and I am glad I did it, it has shown me the way towards enjoyment rather than an indulgent, in our society alcohol is a quick fix for the cracks, cheap and easy and completely missing the point.

My liver is fresh

Nowt wrong with giving up the booze, ive done it myself on quite a few occasions (best was 2 years) didnt stop me going out and enjoying myself.

I gave up booze, meat and all things cake / biscuit / chocolate / pudding / goody like. Did it and found it quite easy, apart from the occasional sugar craving.

It really is something more people should consider - depriving yourself of the things you enjoy. It's good for you, physically and spiritually.

It's not a good thing that you can simply indulge yourself in everything you desire whenever you want. It's important to appreciate what you might otherwise take for granted.
