The idea of veganism has always struck me as bizarre. Not a big supporter of Christianity either. Combining the two..

However, giving up alcohol for a period is worth a shot if you're a student, I drink far too much, I think so I'm currently doing my best to cut down a bit, just because it's unhealthy really (it's not very expensive).

ive got to be honest- i kinda agree with you on the veganism/christianity front. im mainly doing it because i want to see how people cope on such odd diets

I used to have friends who would see lent as a time for Fun Bets. I remember being ask constantly if ive seen any of the participants, break their promise, 100 bucks was a good motivation.

Well a few years ago I gave up drinking. Had nothing to do with Lent. I was diagnosed Diabetic, and insulin & alcohol are not really the best of freinds. Switched to diet pop too. Now drinking regular tastes like suryp to me.

Oh yeah. I watch my carbs now too :)

I'm type 2, but I let it progress too far, and I was unemployed for a bit with no insurance - therfore no pills. Then I got seriously f-ed up to the point of being in the hospital for a few days last year. That's when they finally put me on the needle. That's the part that's hard for me, giving myself the shots. One every meal & one before bed.

Sux.

Im thinking about giving up the internet in my dorm room for lent. It'll prevent me from procrastinating as much as I do now, or at least if it doesn't Ill procrastinate by doing more productive things :D
