The longest was a Daniel fast for 21 days. We gave up coffee and meat. Do you know that veggies fall right through and you remain perpetually hungry?

This year I have given up all forms of chips (I tried this last year as well, and FAILED big time...). It has been surprisingly difficult, realized I ate them a lot, but not this much. My husband gave up fizzy cool drinks this year and he is finding it awful. My sister gave up excuses, which I thought was pretty cool. <br /><br />Before I have given up chocolate, sugar, salty snacks.

So you only eat chicken or fish then?"... If it breathed I don't eat it). <br />I do it because my husband does and there's strength in numbers. You'll be amazed how often I stop myself from shoving the tail end of one of the kids sausages or chops or something in my mouth. <br />It's generally followed by, "Lord! Do I always eat the kids food? Sorry."<br /><br />One of my friends church ladies gave up being angry at her husband. She was shocked at how angry she turned out to be... So it's not only food you give up - it can also be an attitude.Student Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552080409615128869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-46021518316871314772013-02-21T14:40:09.444+02:002013-02-21T14:40:09.444+02:00I grew up in a Baptist church, and we didn't h...I grew up in a Baptist church, and we didn't have this tradition.<br /><br />Although I've never observed Lent, I think it's a great tradition. One of my friends is drinking only water these 40 days...she says it's been quite the challenge so far.MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-41171935098223819242013-02-21T14:36:29.769+02:002013-02-21T14:36:29.769+02:00I don't think it is old fashioned at all, and ...I don't think it is old fashioned at all, and I like to give up something yearly. This year I have chosen alcohol - it is not something I crave terribly, in fact can go without it with no problem, but i'm curious to see if i can go 40 days. If so, i may as well give it up totally!<br /><br />On the subject of nuts - have you tasted the wasabi nuts from Food Lovers Market. Oh my word. Heaven in a handful (excuse the pun!). They are absolutely divine! Something to look forward to .....<br /><br />xxShaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969559339071515618noreply@blogger.com
