I am giving up two things for Lent, with two exceptions:
NO CHOCOLATE! This will be insane. I love my chocolate.Exception: Spring Break in Disney. I'm sorry, but I will cry if I can't have a chocolate dessert in France at Epcot.
NO SODA. I gave up soda totally for four years, and recently took it up again, which was a stupid, stupid decision, I hope this one can last longer than the 40 days.
Exception: Without chocolate, I need a replacement weekend treat, and rootbeer floats might have to become said replacement, I don't know if I will need this exception, but I am glad to know that its there, just in case.
Wish me luck!!! I will surely need it (especially since I just realized this means no more granola bars or hot chocolate....)

i think i only ever tried to do lent one other time (in high school) and i failed miserably (chocolate was my vice of choice as well). this year i'm giving up alllllll coooookkkeedd ffoooodddss! guh. i've been saying i'd love to try being a raw foodist and what better time than now? plus, then i don't have to give up the hard things like chocolate ;) good luck, clare - we'll have to encourage one another!! :)
Good luck! You can do it! I've given up chocolate before and it's not fun, but it is possible :) This year my family and I are all giving up ALL sweets - I'm already regretting it!! I'm also trying to take up running again, so we'll see how that goes.
