Catholic girls and lent
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow and DH and I usually follow no meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday in lent. Do you girls who usually observe lent plan on not eating meat or do pregnant girls get a slide? I was trying to think of what I will eat and the only thing I can come up with is pasta and broccoli or pizza. So I was wondering if I should just skip it this year.

I don't think giving up meat once or twice a week is such a hardship. I did it last year and had no issues.

Re: Catholic girls and lent
if ur pregnant or nursing u are exempt.
while its not hardship to give up meat 2x a week, it is also not a sin if u eat it during bf or pregnancy.
(to me its not a sin regardless - if i forget no harm done  )

I agree. There are times when I wasn't pregnant that I forgot. I don't think it is a sin regardless as well but I believe you are exempt if you are pregnant. I didn't know nursing also.

Re: Catholic girls and lent
Due to my gestational diabetes, meat is my free food without carbs, so I can't cut it completely from my diet each day.
I'll be giving up sweets, though, since I can't eat them anyways.

Re: Catholic girls and lent
I thought we were just exempt from fasting tomorrow and good friday. I'm not going to eat meat, but I'm not a crazy meat eater anyway.

Re: Catholic girls and lent
I plan to skip meat on Ash Wed & Fridays during lent.
I like beans and lentils, which are high in protein, so I plan to eat a lot of Minestrone Soup, Lentil Soup, Amy's Frozen all natural Cheddar Cheese Burritos (they are meat free). Along with grilled cheese, pasta, pizza etc.

These all sound very good. You gave me some more ideas.

Re: Catholic girls and lent
I'm giving up meat tomorrow and on Fridays, but not fasting. On Fridays, I have fish for lunch and pizza for dinner usually anyway, and tomorrow I'm having a tuna fish sandwich. DH yelled at me, but you can have it once a week, and I've only had once in 9 weeks.
ETA: I've been meat averse lately anyway.

DH laughs at me because he says I only crave tuna when I am pregnant!!!! But Tuna once in a while is totally fine!!!!
When Pregnant with DS I used to make DH take me to Friendlys for a Tuna melt!!!

Re: Catholic girls and lent
We are excempt from fasting during Lent. I think the idea is that we're already sacrificing our bodies to grow life. That said, I won't go crazy gorging myself but I won't go out of my way to avoid meat if I want it tomorrow or on Fridays.
Fortunately all  seems to want is sweets so I think we'll be OK!!
