You're supposed to give up something that you enjoy, that is generally considered bad for you. Of course, if Sayre goes from little chocolate to zero chocolate, then that's still good :) However, I've found that I'm eating a lot more crisps (potato chips) than normal! nAL: No you’re not wrong.

So if you give up alcohol because you don't drink much, or are not suppose to have it because of medication does that really count? I can see why giving up chocolate is a sacrifice for Rhys, the man with the chocolate advent calendar :) Or am I, as a non-practitioner of Lent, missing something here?

That video was downright obscene. Good luck with the chocolate. My husband couldn't do it - he's a chocoholic of the first order. I could give up alcohol for Lent... I'm not much of a drinker anyway and I've been on medication that doesn't allow alcohol in any form whatsoever. Unfortunately, it also made me break out in hives after 7 days to the point where I felt like the Elephant Man. I could definitely do with a good stiff drink, but am not allowed to at all until another 3 days have passed. Damn. Holy cow - they need to change M & S Food to S&M food.

Other than that i lead a pretty chocolate free lifestyle. I'm not christian so I don't partake in Lent thus will be happy in hell as I know I've lived a goo life without having to give up anything I love!

The Monkees had a song many milennia ago called "Randy Scouse Git" and I have no idea what that means. The lyrics don't help either. Can you help this Yank understand the meaning of the word and song title???? Hey, this post reminded me that I always wanted to know what “scouse” means.

I've given it up for Lent too, along with bread and cake (though I'm allowing cake for my birthday). It's very tough when people keep giving me food! Gambatte Kudasai (Keep up the hard work)!
