If sweets are a problem for you . . .

in Motivation and Support
I was wondering if I could go forty days and forty nights without sweets - I'm not Catholic or Christian and it's not lent, but I like a challenge that sounds biblical.

So, when one of my MFP friend said she would if I would, we decided to make a group and go for it.

It won't be easy with the holidays coming up, but group support (and for me, public shame in failing at something that was my idea) will help.

Join us.

    YIKES! That's a challenge especially over the holidays. I could probably be in after Thanksgiving... but I know my sister in law is going to bake her late mother's recipe apple pie and even though I am only going to have a sliver, I am going to eat it.

    You can start after Thanksgiving, or even after the holidays. There's no deadline!

    I am currently in week 3 of my 'sugar' detox. I did did this earlier in the year and was very successful. You can totally do it!

    Count me in! If I start in, I can't stop. Must. Not. Take. First. Bite.

    Forty days, what is that, just after the New Year?

    I'll send you an invite. Jump in after Mardi Gras "like a normal person." There is no deadline.

    I'm not particularly aiming for after New Year, I just like "Forty Days and Forty Nights" because it sounds big.

    I'm sending you an invitation.

    Sweets are not a problem, they are an ADDICTION! Specifically that bowl of M&Ms a few cubicles down; always full. I hear the bowl filling and it isi like Pavlov's dog - I salivate.

    I am in. I am clean so far today. The best time to start is NOW.
