Lent

Postby GucciGoo » February 21st, 2007, 9:41 am

Ok, I am Jewish, but my friend's son is giving up the internet for Lent.
I said if an 18 year old can give up the internet for the 40 days of Lent, I can stop cheating for that long as well.

So I am starting my own 40-day challenge to see if I can do it. That should take me right to April Fool's Day just in time for a weigh-in.

Anyone want to join my bandwagon?

Beth, I am with you on this. I was trying to come up with my own Lent idea/promise and this will be a great one.

I was so thinking of doing a challenge on the drive in to work this morning, but had 2nd thoughts that 40 days was a LONG time.

I'm game!

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

I am thinking of rescinding my offer because when I signed up for that 14 day compliance deal I was noncompliant 2-3 days that first week. All in the mind I know....

If I resisted Wendy's last night with no problem and I'm still fresh in this battle then you can surely do it!

I resisted Mickey Dees! I was at my parents and my dad had called to see what my mom and neice wanted him to bring home. Mom didn't even bother to ask what I wanted. She mentioned it when she got off the phone that she figured I wouldn't want anything - yay mom!

1 day down - 39 to go.
