I'm giving up________for Lent.

I think I'm giving up my scale for lent! This is going to be the hardest thing for me to do, because I am a daily/multiple times a day weigher. I think this is going to help me remove my obsessive focus from the numbers. Anyone else giving up something?

Being less Celibate

Ohh... The scale. That is a good one. I think I'll join you in that challenge. I'm 3 lbs away from onderland and have been obsessing over that scale, this just may be the break I need. Great idea, thanks for posting.

absolutely nothing

Holy cow!! I wasn't planning on giving anything up because I usually do sweets or fried food... & now I don't eat any of that stuff or caffeine or sodas or anything... But the scale!! Man! That is a Good one!! I weigh myself everyday!! I should totally give it up... I'm having anxiety just thinking about doing it... Aaaahh!! 40 days without knowing what my weight is?

Ok... I'm in!!!

I'm starting my pre-op diet now for Surgery April 8th. Talked to my coordinator today and she said its fine but I'm crazy! Lol

80% of my stomach.

:P

80% of my stomach.

LOL Yep ;) I've given up many of my pre surgery bad food habits which were my 'lent' give up things pre-surgery....and um, I'm not brave enough to give up the scale, I believe that holds me accountable.

For those of you giving up the scale - I cannot wait to hear how exciting it is going to be when you get back on - it will be such a reward to see the drop in weight!

Im giving up my virginity... Any takers? Lol

You'd have to pry my scale outta my cold dead hands!

Just thinking about putting away "scaley" makes me sad...
