Actually doing it for Lent is a bit of a joke to me. Some of my family and many friends over the years have been catholic. Of the lot of them, I remember seeing a few fail at giving up something up for lent(unless they picked something lame and easy). I didn't laugh or say anything to them; it didn't even bother me, but I do remember thinking I have the tenacity to give anything up especially if I believed I was indebted to a god that loved me. Even without that feeling though, I think I can muscle through it just on perseverance alone.
So it has become a bit of a spiritual thing for me. More like me vs. myself. I think I have what it takes to defeat me. We'll see.
