What's the point of the sacrifice?

Before anybody says it … I get the whole sacrifice of Jesus for mankind thing. What I want to know, is what the point of the sacrifices people make for lent is? For example, one of the most common ones is sacrificing meat. Others will forgo sex for a few weeks.

Is this really supposed to be analogous to sacrificing your life in terms of learning a life lesson?
