Ann Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Today is the first day of the Season of Lent. Are you giving anything up for the next 40 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I am a peanut freak. I buy big cans of Planters Cocktail peanuts and eat them constantly. However, for the next 40 days NO PEANUTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesLife Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Chocolate .... aaahhhh! Oh well, it will certainly help with the weight loss effort. I also decided for Lent I would do something as well - I am going to keep a gratitude journal - something I have been talking about for ages. Just think how good those peanuts and my chocolate is going to taste in 40 days!?!? Happy Ash Wednesday all! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've been trying to lose a couple of the 25+ pounds I've gained, so Fred has doled out 3-5 mini peanut butter cups for me per day and hides the reest aso I don't finish the bag!!!. I am giving those up!!! Sounds simple????? Not for me. Also Cape Cod potato chips. If you haven't had the opportunity to ever try them ~ I suggest you don't! They are addictive. This is going to be a LONG 40 days! Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm giving up fried foods. I know this may sound easy for some but being a southern gal, I love just about anything that's been deep fried. Like others, I'm in a constant battle to lose a couple of pounds and due to fried foods and my love of carbs, it never happens. So...no more french fries for me.

Sis Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yes, I too, am a peanut addict. So they are on the NO list for lent. Also must give a fond farwell to sweets. Now, if this could just cause a loss of 25 pounds!!!! Can't wait till Easter!! Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen in PA Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's not my relligion so I don't observe Lent -- but I used to work with a guy who gave up gin, his favorite drink. Switched to scotch for the 40 days. He was a very witty guy. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
