Always around this time of year, people talk about giving something up for Lent. And it always confused me.

Now that I’ve done my research and found out that Lent is a 40-day period where Christians (generally–there are similar things in other religions too) look at their lives and cut out what may not be their best behaviors for the time between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. I’ve heard people say they cut smoking, soda and other things that don’t contribute to a healthy lifestyle more than others.

Since Lent starts tomorrow, I’m tempted to try (cutting sweets or something) but I want more information… say in the form of testimonials?

I’m curious to know what you all think about Lent… whether or not you do it, your experiences, etc. I’m urging you ever so gently to share your thoughts below in the comments. ;)

Thanks!
