An admirable sacrifice in any language!

My old housemate always gives up chocolate for Lent too (despite being totally non religious). She always appreciates pigging out on Easter Eggs that much more that way you see.

Interesting that they all (well, the ones I can read, anyway) seem to be about the fast or the forty days, not the "lengthening" the Anglo-Saxons were so happy about :)

Dulces por la Cuaresma

I like "Fastenzeit" and "vastentijd" for "Lent".

Do you know what you'll eat to break the fast on Easter?

If I'd do lent, I'd be more likely to use "während der Fastenzeit" and "verzichten": "Während der Fastenzeit verzichte ich auf Süßigkeiten". "Aufgeben" normally signals a final intention - you don't only stop eating sweets for a time, you intend to never eat them again for the rest of your life.
