    I was just thinking of this thread that shotgunmcos started last year. It's not about religion, it's just a bit of fun/help/kickstart for anyone who is considering giving up something/taking up something until Easter Sunday 23rd April, and maybe beyond.

    Everyone who puts the name on the list is in. You break it, take your name off and you are out! Simple as.

    Any mention of Lent and I immediately have to eat a sausage sandwich and drink a bottle of wine. Probably shouldn't join this thread :D

    A man after my own heart ! I personally don't see the point of it, but I'm not particularly religious nor do I have many vices in the way of naughty foods or drink that I consume.

    +1. I'm an athiest, so I can pretend that I am refusing to join in as a matter of principle.

    Anyone feeling the pang...?

    I thought I was doing ok, until the 100s of calories I suddenly cut out of my diet made my run much harder..Note to self.. don't just cut out the crap.... replace it with good stuff :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,340 ✭✭✭TFBubendorfer


    Jesus, last night was tough. I must have turned into a chocolate junkie over the year, I found it very hard to stay away from the sweets cabinet and every 5 seconds I kept thinking of chocolate.

    I really, really, really hope that's going to improve or I won't last! I'd love to shed a few pounds before the big race.

    Just 5 min ago I was in the shop getting milk and they have peanut butter on offer AND almond butter for like 2e (which is very cheap for almond butter). About to crack, i bought chocolate instead. Sigh. At least i stayed away from the nut butters :(

    Massive fail, I'd imagine. How does a conversation like that go?
    "Ha ha United lost to Chelsea and Liverpool!"
    "Yes, but are still top of the league, playing in the FA Cup Saturday, and have a home tie in the Champions league next week. How are Leeds doing?"
    "...... I have to go now ...."

    :D

    I've been going to bed early most days since lent started.

    I cannot cope with being in the same room as the sweets cabinet. I'm constantly on the verge of getting up from the sofa and helping myself to all the chocolate in there. I literally have to leave the room.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 399 ✭✭ElectraX

    The only way I'm managing is by having no temptation in the house, chocolate and sweets are banned!! If I had a sweets cabinet, it would be game over already:D

    I tried to do exactly that by eating every bit of chocolate I could find in the week before lent! Unfortunately, someone must have been re-stocking the damn thing. :rolleyes:

    Im out:(. In my defense it was emotional eating-I met an old work colleague when I was at the post office during lunch today. She looked at me with total excitement in her eyes, looked me up and down and said "ohhh, you have news!!". :eek::eek:
    In reality I dont have 'news'. In fact I've really cleaned my diet up and lost 6lbs in the last few weeks. There I was walking around thinking I was looking skinnier!:(

    Im out:(. In my defense it was emotional eating-I met an old work colleague when I was at the post office during lunch today. She looked at me with total excitement in her eyes, looked me up and down and said "ohhh, you have news!!". :eek::eek:
    In reality I dont have 'news'. In fact I've really cleaned my diet up and lost 6lbs in the last few weeks. There I was walking around thinking I was looking skinnier!:(

    Ooohhh harsh!!!:eek: Who says that to someone unless they are sure! She must have been dying when she realised her faux pas:o Don't take it personally, I know a girl that happened too as well and she is really slim, just has a tiny bit of a belly.She was raging after though! Well done on losing the six pounds, that's really good going!

    Thanks ElectraX I dont know who was more embarrassed after she said it - awkward :D. Still it was a bit of a blow to the old self esteem so Im now eating myself out of my shock and will start back on the straight and narrow tomorrow again.
