I'm not Catholic but Lent is the one thing I do every year. This year I'm going to be abstaining from chips and chocolate bars, and adding in no complaining.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins, I understand your point of view (that it is between God and you) I do let people know so that they don't unintentionally sabotage (like my husband bringing home chips from the store, or grabbing me a chocolate bar when getting gas).
Eh, my husband is not responsible for my abstinence from item X. He is Protestant through and through and only observes Lent as far I won't serve meat in my home on Fridays until Easter. I don't even always tell him what I am doing, but he usually figures it out. Part of the sacrifice is that I may encounter the item x in my daily life and be tempted by it.
And, I have had people (my husband's birth mother included) offer me the thing I am abstaining from to try and trip me up if they knew what it was. It's interesting how some people behave in the face of my trying to practice self control.
How very sad of them to try to derail you.
My in-laws are just very sad people and I don't work with the coworker who used to do it anymore, so it's all good. He was just an all around jerk.
In another thread, I saw this spelled "co-irker." I love that play on words!
I am SO using that one!
I love it too!
I work with a few of these co-irkers haha.0 -

Very cool! You may have to let @Oberon21 win
That made me cringe. I'm so freakin' competitive! LOL
No you don't. I didn't drink tonight after a really rough work day and dinner with friends at a fabulous restaurant. You are not allowed to drink at a caveman like entertainment event where people beat each other up.
Confession: I've done it before. Super fun!
Just remember, if you drink this weekend I WIN!!!!!!!!
I KNOW! (Yep...Monica.) Which is why I won't.
I love this! I think this is my favorite gif ever!
How I feel at work most of the time LOL.0 -

On a stressful day I ate the whole bag, totaling something like 700 calories. Then I proceeded to eat chocolate for a snack and Indian food for dinner without weighing anything.
I am capable of eating 10 quarts of popcorn without a thought.
When hubby and I came home from our honeymoon I told him I was going to make popcorn. He said he did not want any. I proceeded to pop a giant stainless bowl of popcorn that was piled high above the bowl. He went to take a shower.
When he came out and saw that I had eaten all of it, he looked at me as if I ate his share.
I asked him if he wanted some and told him I could make more
He replied " No I didn't want any. But..
You just ate enough for my mother and father, your mother and father, my brothers (3) your brother and sisters(3)
Your aunts and uncles, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, your cousins ....."
At that point I stopped him and said I got his point so he would stop naming relatives.
This is now an item I defiantly measure out.
Estimate to the best ability what you ate. It will help you out in the long run.
Weren't you the one that said your husband ate a ton of dried bananas then complained that his stomach hurt.
Yep that would be him approximately 10 years later.
He wasn't being mean to me he was just teasing me at the time. I was laughing at him and his description.
He is very much a once a day eater and can consume enormous amounts of calories in one setting. He does not nibble because it " ruiens his appetite and then he forgets to eat." This works for him.
Me I need to eat at least 2 meals a day and am prone to nibbling on new things just to see what they taste like.
Let's say our boys have seen a broad spectrum of eating habits likes and dislikes.
I need to eat 5 x a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks at 10:30 and 2:30.
I was thinking about you the other day. I brought three bags of beef jerky to work...I know you don't eat meat but that isn't the point here. They were gone by the end of the week. If I have food at my desk, then I HAVE to eat it even if I'm not hungry.
And that's why it's bad news for me to have more than one protein bar at work at a time.
I just can't be trusted with food. Dang.
I know right? My drawer of protein bars/cookies is scary!
I sometimes play Santa & give out some of my protein bars & protein cookies.
My sister loves the Lenny & Larry Snickerdoodle cookie.0 -

I was out and about for lunch and had to stop for gas, and didn't get myself chips or chocolate, even tho I had tons of room in my diary. I also was pleasant and didn't complain when I smashed and possibly broke my pinky toe at the pool yesterday, and wound up with a migraine headache when I over heated my supper and set off my super touchy smoke detector.
I decided today has to go better and the kids are getting salad for supper.
Oberon, those are great pics, that trail looks beautiful to run on. And line dancing is so fun, you look great.
yikes about the toe and migraine!
hope the toe isn't broken, is it still really painful?
It doesn't hurt and it didn't when I did it, but I have a compressed nerve that makes me numb. Went for X-Rays, not broken, just bruised and the dr said sprained. So rest and all that jazz. Its actually very colourful but ok when I have it taped up.
Totally #dancemomproblems that when I needed tape for my toes my daughter yelled "hang on" and went and got her toe tape from her pointe shoe bag. lol.
Today was better. Had fillings today, and my dentist went a bit crazy with the freezing so I was talking like Rocky for a few hours after.
And I really want to try the steel cut oats now that everyone is talking about them. Grocery day coming up so I just might pick some up.
I toe tape. And you should definitely get the steel cut oats.
I just laugh at the name of the toe tape, but it is good. I like that the adhesive doesn't sweat off.
When I get the steel cut oats, I will be back for recipes.
You can find lots on Pinterest if you have it. Most of them are very good. I have done a few, some in the crock pot overnight.
I always Pin a bunch of recipes to try & then never make them.
Me too.0 -

I had them for dinner a few weeks ago. A whole sleeve as well. I hadn't eaten them in years. YUM! They are my favorite. But you can't just eat one.. or two... or six.
There are 5 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in my nightstand drawer. They're safe right now. Once a box is opened, UGH- I can't stop. Why did I buy so many?
It's ok, I bought 12 and put them in the freezer. Not sure if that will slow me down any!! Shortbreads and thin mints......and two pb sandwich boxes for the hubs.
I bought 10. 5 for me, 5 for hubby. LOL

I feel both accomplished and a bit guilty. I did some swimming with my brand new goggles and was about to do one length of the pool (25m) without feeling like I was going to drown and practiced my breathing and swimming and not sinking.
Then I went to the grocery store for eggs and came out with kettle popcorn. I'm telling myself its not chips, but I don't know if it counts. But I have guilt.
Oberon, I looked up Ben Nevis, and that is insane. Have tons of fun.
I have the evening to myself and I'm debating cleaning the kitchen or cracking my new book. Tea and a book seems to be winning, but no guilt on that one. I am under orders to rest.

What do you mean??? He is gone? Or just the idea of the Peep cleanse?
I need to remember to buy a package of Peeps on clearance after Lent, & roast them on a campfire.
I need to remember this idea

I've been watching Penny Dreadful all day instead of doing work. It's so ridiculous.0

What's your new book? (and no one should feel guilty for reading and drinking tea. That's just basic sanity maintenance.) 0 -

I hope you read. That sounds glorious. Ben Nevis is going to be amazing! I can't wait. Climbing all night isn't winning any awards with me as I am not a night person but the thrill should keep new going!0 -

I've eaten too much today and feel like seeing if I can go from this point onward to Sunday sometime without eating another thing to try and balance it out. I've got what can be considered a 'birthday blowout' coming up in two weeks and if I'm not happy with my weight, people are being told to leave me alone and eat cake themselves in my honour.
Please don't to this to yourself. it can start a binge, deprivation cycle that is detrimental to health.
I understand the impulse to loose weight quickly and to say I will not eat anything today. I have recently had an event that I wanted to be a certain weight. It is hard to not want to do as you said but it won't change that you will be overly hungry Sunday and possibly do the same thing.
A better plan is to eat a small healthy meal when you are hungry and maybe go a little over your calorie limit, evan eat at maintenance for the day.You can also make a point to exercise today and earn calories. I have been known to do that from time to time. Then you can began tomorrow eating award your goals. You may loose more than you think you can in 2 weeks.
PS you can fit birthday cake and ice-cream in your calorie setting for the day without compromising your nutrition, no use depriving yourself from your birthday celebration.

My girlfriend just snuck into my dorm and left a note outside my door asking me to dinner.
Also, she left it with a very realistic sculpture of an animal skull. My roommates are terrified. It's beautiful.0
