What do I have left to give up for lent?

I'm trying to figure out something to give up for Lent that would be a challenge, but also something from which I'm certain I can abstain. The problem is that health and financial concerns have already taken most of my vices from me.

I don't eat any sweets nor do I drink soda because I may be prediabetic. I don't eat meats, dairy products, or eggs nor do I drink milk because I've been vegan for nine years. I broke my caffeine addiction nearly a year ago, and altho' I still want to drink alcohol, I can't anymore because of my medication. I've never smoked.

I rarely eat potato chips, mixed nuts, or popcorn anymore because I can no longer afford the extra grocery expense. I own a television, but I never use it because I can't afford cable or satelite.

I won't give up internet because I use it to pay bills, communicate, and search for employment.

Is there anything left to give up? No flippant responses, please.

    Give up whatever you do for fun - reading, going to movies, etc.
