Is anyone giving anything up for Lent?
I'm living in a Catholic country at the moment, where all my friends (even the non-practising Catholics) are giving up something for Lent. I feel like a massive hypocrite for even considering joining a religious ritual as an atheist, and on a more practical level, I'm not sure if I might be overloading myself. Giving up sugar and sweeteners as part of my diet plan, and then something else (alcohol!) for Lent is quite a lot to commit to... However, I always go off plan when I drink, and I drink every weekend night I see my friends. It would be good for me...
Is anyone giving something up for Lent as well as following the South Beach diet?
