Those that are participating in this, what are you giving up?
I'm giving up peanut butter. I have a sick obsession (no really, its sick) and feel I'm adding on an extra (average) 400 cals/day just eating spoonfuls out of the jar! Sadly, I do this all the time!
2 TBS. = 190 cals.

I gave up Lent for Lent. It's working out well so far...:)
The PB was a great idea. A sacrifice of something you enjoy, that will be difficult. I hope you see how much it helps and can at least leave the spoon alone at the end.
Be very careful giving up whole food groups like that. You are cutting out a huge swath of nutrients thaat you will find it hard to replace. You could give up milk, or yogurt, or cheese (what's your crutch?) and still find it difficult.0 -
I gave up all types of snack chips. Potato, doritos, corn chips etc.
Good luck to all!!!!0 -
i gave up facebook.

I'm not Catholic but I'll jump in to be supportive and have people who are also struggling with me :-)
I am going to give up excuses for not working out every day. I am a master excuse maker. Unfortunately, I'm a master bull****-caller as well so I know that my excuses are bunk deep down. No more! I will work out every single day, whether it's at the gym, on the Wii or doing a DVD. I started the 30 Day Shred so hopefully that'll keep me motivated for the first 30 days hehe0 -
I am giving up restaurants...except for subway! that is one place i don't feel bad about going to when there is nothing to eat. But all other restaurants. As I am writing this i realized i have a lunch thing at work next week and guess what...we are going to a restaurant. Does it count??? hahaha. It was planned weeks ago. oh boy...one day in and I am already going to blow it.0

Oh good luck girl...I so couldn't think I could do that. I'm pulling for you.0 -
I gave up sweets & fast food.
Eating at McD's last night made me sick ... probably partly from the food & partly from inhaling it so quickly (I had a messed up schedule so didn't eat for about 7 hours - I was famished!!)
As for the sweets, I use splenda in my coffee, and i will continue to do so, but I am eliminating all the nonsensical stuff that I snack on when i am down in the dumps -- chocolate, lollipops, etc. The only exception to this rule (if it is necessary) will be cough drops if i get sick.0 -

Thanks, our pastor once said, Lent for giving up spiritual things or improvement...not, necessarily food or tangible items0 -
