I'm giving up giving up.
Gave up vegetarianism for Lent. It was 4 years ago.
I think I've done rather well.
why do we have to give something up - just because a book of fiction tells us to is not a good enough reason for giving up something I like.
I think we should tke something up instead. spend 40 days and nights learning a new skill and then come good friday you can say you learned something new. I think I might call this period 'Borrowed' as you might have to borrow something like a guitar to practice your new skill

Beer, I'm giving up beer.
