in Food and Nutrition
I gave up all fast food and candy.
I hope by the end of these 40 days i can see a difference in just not eating those certain things.
What is everyone else giving up???

I am going to continue to work my butt off, but let's see all that we can improve on just by giving up stuff!!

Feel free to add me if you need motivation or just a friend!!!

    I gave up fast food but I may have to break that bc I recently saw in my local newspaper that taco bell will be coming out with a cool ranch dorito taco. *drool*

    Not really religious, but since most of my friends participate in Lent, I usually give up something along with them.

    This year, I gave up negativity. And I've got a journal to write my negative thoughts down in. Then under each negative thought, I turn it around to a positive thought.

    That's a really good idea!

    I'm giving up over indulgence.

    2 glasses of wine, not a whole bottle.
    Stay close to my calorie goals.
    No second servings (pack it up for lunch).
    Going out to eat once every 2 weeks.

    Haha, I mostly gave it up to save money. I'm not too religious, just wanted to see if I could do it.

    Alcohol and dessert, although the dessert one fell by the wayside on Valentine's Day!

    But what would you do with the rest of the wine? It would be sad if it was left behind :cry:

    I gave up Sweets . . . . I am hoping that after 40 days it will be more of a lifestyle change and I won't need them anymore.
