For Lent I'm giving up trying to give things up for Lent.
Everytime I force myself to give things up for specific occasions (Lent, New Year's Resolutions, etc.) it never works. I manage to buckle down, grind through a week or so and then just take up the 'habit' again. It's just a week of me being horrifically cranky and it doesn't seem to do me a bit of good.
I think I'm just going to stick to my program of moderation. Keep the sugar, but in moderation. Keep the salt, but in moderation. You get the idea.
FWIW, this past New Year's I decided to give up coffee for a while. Two weeks later, I came to work and a hot cup of coffee was sitting at my desk along with a small note that said "Please drink" that was signed by all my co-workers.
