However, my take on lent has recently been changed to not giving something up and making that committment just to be lax in the middle when my body starts craving whatever it is i've given up, but rather try to live a healthier lifestyle...no more junk food, no more fizzy drinks, try to smoke less, excercise more, whenever you feel the craving for a smoke or a fizzy drink or junk food, you put the amount of money that you would have spent in a jar and at the end of the week, give that money to a charity or the church or the poor.

well, thats how i'm going to try this lent...wherever i can, to just try and be an all round better person...

well, i wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.
