Dejé de hacerlo (I gave up doing it) por la cuaresma. Don't use prestado - that means lent as in someone lent you their book.
If you're talking about something like giving up a food, then you would say "Dejé de comer chocolate (I gave up eating chocolate)...." or Dejé de fumar...." (I gave up smoking). You have to include a verb in the sentence like "to do" or "to eat" because it won't be as clear without it.

Neither is right,and I'm not about to tell you who is. All I can say is "ban those people who use automatic translators from this board".

It sounds like you gave up something a habit of food, drink or smoking while in the lent period.
(Lent is the period of fasting, penitence, and self-denial traditionally observed by Christians in preparation for Easter. )
If you gave up food(female) then you say " La deje de comer por la cuaresma." meaning that you probably gave up red meat during the 40 day period.
I gave it up (drink) - "Lo deje de tomar por la cuaresma"
