I'm giving up________for Lent.

  • Popular Post

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?

Does you wife know that???

It's her idea! Woot! Woot!

I think PDXMAN is in the market!! :P

Uhh ... I play for the other team.

Last year I gave up caffeine and on Tuesday I was the victim of an intervention from my work colleagues begging me to give up anything but caffeine this year as I was such a moody cow for 40 whole days!!!

This year I'm giving up Facebook.

Uhh ... I play for the other team.

Well if I makes you feel better pdx, I offered myself up to that young man and he left me hanging!!! :P

I think he plays for the same team you do, but I'm not 100% sure.

So, don't feel bad.

Great idea! I am giving up the scale, too!

I am going to join you, too! Sorry for being a copy cat. I am just 2 1/2 weeks out from surgery. Down 34 lbs, including a 20 lb loss on the pre-op diet. I feel like my excitement to get out of bed everyday is that stupid scale! I hate that. Sure, I want to lose weight! But ultimately, that isn't the goal. I want to be healthy. I want to feel better.

Thank you for such a great idea! :)

Only if shes a lesbian.

You people have me confused with all this "team" talk :P

Gave up most of my stomach about 40 days ago. Now its time to give up another weakness, the couch. Started "Couch to 5K". Lord knows I'll need divine help with that!

Only if shes a lesbian.

Sorry, I was under the impression from an earlier post (can't remember which) you preferred men. My bad. Apologies.
