Ultra processed foods - excluding weekends away racing, cos my fuelling (for long distance running races) is pretty much entirely UPF

As we've now into the early hours of the 5th day of Lent, have you given anything up? If so, what? How is it going? Are you finding it easy? Difficult? What are you doing to distract yourself when you find yourself wanting that thing?


I don’t participate in Lent as i’m muslim but my friend gave up meat on Fridays and another actually fasted everyday from 6am till 6pm!! I do want to participate next year though, and give up social media

Why would you participate next year in Lent if you're Muslim?

Can I not?😭 my non muslim friends participate in Ramadan so I thought it’d be okay for me to try lent or is that disrespectful

There's nothing stopping you, I just wondered what the point is.
It's not disrespectful but it's unusual. But you're welcome of course.
