    Diet Cherry 7-Up

    It's the only diet soda I've found that I like, and I don't drink as much of it as I used to drink Coke, but I still have about a can a day and I could do without.

    Cutting out soda will be hard but well worth it! I gave it up years ago and now every time I drink it, it feels like fire going down my throat.

    I'm giving up being an atheist born into a Catholic family. Just kidding. I may not have faith, but I still have a fondness for some of the traditions. It is my heritage, after all, good bad and ugly. I'm giving up wearing lipstick and drinking diet cherry cola. I also want to volunteer more.

    Years ago at church (when I was still a practicing catholic) the priest asked this little boy what he was giving up. The boy answered "Homework" the preist told him he'd better discuss that with his mom first.

    seriously, I am giving up chocolate for the month of February...at least. let's see if I can make it to Easter.

    Heroine and Crack I have even seen either one of them so it shouldn't be too hard on me.

    I'm giving up giving up anything for Lent, or for any other reason! Whenever I say "never" it bites me in the *kitten* anyway!

    Cloths, some beautiful cloths I bought last year are heading to the thrift shop. Some are going to consignment, becuase I need some new digs.

    I am fasting from meat and sweets during Lent this year. I have done so in the past as well. This year, I am also giving up processed foods. Yes, I know this definition is broad, but for me that means nothing from a box, only homemade (like bread) and grains. I'm sure it will be trial and error, but I'm really looking to make eating non-processed a lifestyle change so I'm looking forward to the challenge. Great topic, by the way!

    I'm hoping to get to the no processed foods lifestyle also!

    The Internet.

    Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun.

    Actually, I'm just going to give it up when my daughter is awake unless it has something directly to do with her (how to make edible finger paints) or something that needs to be done (looking up a recipe while making dinner).

    Also, not catholic. Not even religious. I just think it's a good time frame to make or break a habit and since it's during a season switch from winter to spring, it's kind of turning over a new leaf.
