That was an interesting article. I stopped giving up something for Lent years ago and instead I do two things 1) I try to help people out more on an everyday basis and 2) I try to not talk badly about people. I feel that is more important to my religion than giving up chocolate or snacks. I also do try to eat less in general and maybe not go for that extra treat. but this year since I'm pregnant that is out the window.

Great article!
I SO AGREE!
Instead of giving up Chocolate or swearing, why not be a bigger person, forgive and forget etc.
Thats something I would be in awe of...
I have always felt this season was sooo hypocritical.
I give nothing up for Lent, because I would feel I was doing it just cause someone told me to, just to do it etc.
I would rather Practice being a more mindful good person and i'm 100% sure God would agree with me there.
I see sooo many people not eat meat on Friday yet have hate in their heart.
Thanks for posting this link, the article was good!
