    I don't officially celebrate Lent, but this month I'm giving up excuses. There is NO reason why I can't lose significant weight this year, and the only one holding me back has been me.

    Processed sugar!
    I've found it is much easier to stick to it because I've given it up for Lent. I can come up with excuses to myself for having a little bit, but I KNOW I can't lie to God!
    Even my 10 y.o. granddaughter tried this morning to give me some of her Valentines candy and one of her Vanilla Scones. When I said no she was shocked! She said "I really wanted to get you to break, I guess you are serious!"
    I am serious!
    The hardrst part is walking past the snack machine at work right outside the restrooms. That Red Licorice jumps off the shelf, throws itself up against the glass and screams at me "RESCUE ME! Please, get me out of here!"
    I've gone three days so far.
    I've told all my lunch buddies at work and even put it on Facebook! The biggest deterrent is my promise to God.

    I didn't give anything up this year.

    Instead I am going to volunteer every saturday morning.

    Actually, you are sacrificing something. Your time. However, you are sacrificing it for the good of others and that is a great thing to do! :happy:

    I am Southern Baptist so I don't observe Lent.

    I gave up using the elevator in my dorm and in any of my school buildings

    Me Too!! I work on the 3rd floor of a building and live on the 5th floor of my apt building, absolutely no reason to use the elevator except when carrying groceries or laundry. But I should give up that exception because I used to do it all the time in my old apartment, I had to, there wasn't an elevator.
