So anyways, about this whole lent thing were talking about. We should try and give up something that we love. Thats the whole idea anyways right? You can be any religion or none at all. Yet if you have negative input about lent and are not christian, its better to think about what your saying before you actuily say it. We had mass in school today to get our ashes (begining of lent), and the priest talked to us about giving something up. The first thing he said was, "You can give anything you want up, if it makes you feel better about yourself." CLEARLY, giving up sweets or junkfood will make you feel better about yourself and you learn some good habbits and mabye loose a few pounds on the way! So pick what you want to give up. Wether its candy or TV, or lieing, becuase each one will make you a better person! I myself am giving up dessert and not over-eating. What are you guys giving up?
