in Health and Weight Loss
In my office building there is a little convenience store thing that sells snack food/soda/water and lately I've been frequenting this store a little too much. I've been thinking for a while that I need to give up this bad habit because it is really starting to hinder my weight loss efforts, but I need some accountability.

So.... I'm going to offer up a challenge for anyone who wants to join me in giving up something that that's been slowing down/preventing their weight loss or general health. We can support, encourage, and provide accountability to each other. Let's start with a week and go from there.

Introduce yourself and let us know what you will be giving up.

Who is with me???

    I will give up soda. Although I drink mostly diet soda, I will now drink water only.

    I give up giving things up because it isn't necessary.

    I'm giving up on giving up and learning to overcome my hindrances and not blame anything on me not reaching my goals but myself.

    I already gave up what I had to give up. But I wish you luck!!

    You can become healthier. It isn't easy. Takes time to adjust! But you can do it and will be so glad you did.

    It's worth it in the end. :)

    I'll give up my non-dairy creamer for my coffee. I was planning on giving it up anyway, because I never log it. I should log it, but I never have. I think I'd just rather give it up than go to the bother of logging it.

    That what I'm thinking too. The store is just too dang convenient lol, but I can definitely do this. I think once I get out of the HABIT of going there, I won't even miss it (because at this point that's all it is is habit, i'm not even hungry when I go). :ohwell:

    I'll give up wearing baseball caps with heels. It's so 1990s and I'm a little old for it.

    So giving up going to this one store, what is that going to teach you? I don't understand this at all, there will always be other stores, other temptations and not learning to deal with those isn't going to solve anything.

    Already gave up overeating and being lazy. Nothing else needs to be given up.

    Luckily I'm having a bit of a pinch on my wallet right now, so I cut out fast food (unless someone else is paying haha). I started on July 26...
