I am a real wimp about sticking with my Lenten sacrifices. After two days I’m back to snacking or drinking wine, or whatever it was I want to give up. I feel like it doesn’t matter. How do you stay resolved?

By telling yourself it does matter.
Think of the agony that Jesus went through and ask yourself if you are in such agony skipping your snacks or wine. Nope.
May I suggest that you do something instead of giving up something? It might have more meaning to you. Read the Bible or pray another rosary. Go to daily mass when you can. Go to Stations of the cross once a week. Any of those might feel more meaningful to you.
