andreaaaaah

I've decided that I'm going to give up binging It's be 15 days already binge free and I'm going to use lent as another good motivation tool

I've decided that I'm going to give up eating out. If I have time to drive to a fast food place, I have time to make a healthy meal.

ETA: In the past, I've given up coffee and donated the money I would have spent to a charity. I would give up sarcasm, but I have to talk. This lady's article really sums up how I feel about the notion of "giving up" something.

I'm not giving up this year, I'm giving back. Random acts of kindness. I did this last year. Whenever I am in a drive thru, I pay for the car behind me. I've even left an extra $20 at the cash register to help pay for the groceries behind me. I always make a point to be out of site before they realize who did it for them (why I like the drive thru the best). Yes, it makes me feel good, but more, it reminds me to be grateful that I have the resources to help someone else. Hopefully, if they don't really need the help, they will pay it forward sometimes.

This is such a great idea. I love it.

I see you're from Kentucky, so you must be okay. I will be giving up wine for lent, but like you, will continue in sarcasm so I can speak as well.

I like this. Let me know when you're in a drive through at Chick-fil-A so I can get behind you. In all seriousness, great post and idea.

I'm not religious at all, i'm just using Lent as a way to kee me on track with my goals.

_AwesomeSauce_

I'm going to give up some fat with a great deal of sweat mixed in.

Happy Ash Wednesday, y'all who observe it religiously

And for the others doing Lent anyway, get on it -- it's go time!

(I'm going to continue to wear my Mardi Gras outfit for my avatar, even through Lent. I'm just a heathen that way )

Not religious but was planning on trying to cut out bread anyway so decided to do it this year (normally don't bother). I've decided only to give up bread at home since I'm vegan so sometimes if if I'm not at home my only option will involve bread. That said I'm going to try avoiding eating it away from home as well so might even improve my planning skills this month and manage to actually make packed lunches.

I'm giving up the scale and cussing. Unfortunately, I played golf today so that's done already! I'd hit a bad shot, cuss and say Sorry God!! At least I didn't step on the scale this morning out of habit so I've got that going for me.

Well the no other beverage thing didn't really pan; esp having to work super early (yay for coffee!)
I think I'm going to give up chocolate ( I haven't had any all week-which should still count if you start late right?) lol
But I usually eat some form of it everyday...so chocolate it is!

dakotababy

so is this like a new years resolution?
