What will you give up?

Lent starts on Wednesday.  I'm not Catholic but i do take part in the practice Lent.  My items of self-denial are pretty boring/standard - candy, cheese (as a snack), and talking about others at work. 

The candy is fairly self explanatory.  The cheese as a snack has produced some lively conversation.  I have issues with cheese when it comes to making a sandwich.  One slice of cheese doesn't  sufficiently cover a sandwich.  I will take a second slice and put half on the sandwich.  The problem is the remaining half of cheese ends up in my mouth as a quick snack.  When making supper at night I will often grab a chunk of brick cheese to tide me over until the meal has finished cooking.  This is the cheese snacking I want to cut out.

Talking about others at work.  This is the part about being a woman I dislike the most. I need to just keep my mouth shut.  I don't need to know all of the intimate details of the other folks in my department. I don't need to know the latest gossip.  I certainly need to take this statement out of my daily life "you didn't hear this from me...."

 

Anyone else? What are you giving up?
