Message: <blockquote data-quote="Prem51" data-source="post: 1057992" data-attributes="member: 209498">So today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. I am going to fast over the six week Lent period until Easter. I have done this a couple of times before. It was quite hard then as I was working in a fairly physically demanding job. I think it will be easier this time as I am retired, and also because I have been more or less fasting since I was diagnosed, not eating much during the day.I will be drinking water, tea and coffee during the day, but not eating until after sunset (around 5pm), though I actually probably won't be eating until after 7pm. When I did this before I would lose about 7lbs, but then put it on again over the next 3-4 months. I hope to lose up to 14lbs this time, but 7lbs will be ok.Is anyone else intending to give up something for Lent?</blockquote>
