Follow the tradition of Lent by fasting, done in honor of Christ's own 40-day fast in the desert. You can do this in whatever way seems appropriate to you - its intensity has varied from total abstinence to refraining from eating meat. Note that some churches focus less on fasting and encourage charitable deeds. For example, visit elderly people, baby-sit for young mothers or visit prisoners.
Personal note: I don't believe that doing charitable deeds should replace fasting. Jesus didn't forgo the fast to help some lepers, so we should stick to what the Lord calls us to do, also.

Step 1. Stop eating.
The end.

Go to Mac Donald's, order an super value meal, don't drink the vanilla shake. That's a beginning...
