It's a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I want to give up hamburgers for Lent. There's health reasons, too, but I want to use the longing I feel for one of my favorite foods to prompt myself to reflect on the Easter season.
I'm also going to be following Jose's lead and commenting once a week on Jesus' last words on the cross. More to come...
If you need any willpower help in this area, I'd suggest reading the meat section in the book Skinny Bitch. I became full on vegetarian after that one ; )
ReplyDeleteLent is seven weeks! I don't know what I could give up for seven weeks. I want to give up the computer. I feel it would usher me straight into sainthood but I also fear it would destroy me - maybe I'll pick one of the weeks, is that allowed? But before I leave the computer view my recent complaint - mavora.blogspot.com - and see if there's anything you can do.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I have the willpower to utterly give up on my meats... but I admit that the thought has occured to me. Not because I think eating meat is wrong per se, but knowing how bulk meat is processed isn't something that sits entirely comfortable with me either.
