Observing Lent

For those of you who partake, what are some things you’re giving up to observe Lent?

Not trying to be self righteous or anything or cause a ruckus from those either for or against organized religion.

It’s just a question.

I only know of Lent, but don't know what it is other than being a religious thing and being non-religious it's not something I get into. I don't follow anything related to liturgy or liturgical structures and feel that such as part of Christianity in general or another type of religion is just a method of control.

However I respect people who do choose to do Lent and similar things as we live in a world were (mostly) free choice is permitted.
