Down .5lbs today. OH! I almost forgot. I jokingly told my Dad he should give up ice cream for Lent (he is a lapsed Catholic, I'm an atheist for the record) and he said sure. I asked him if he wanted me to give something up too (for support) and he said only if I wanted to. So I said I'd give up chips. I'm like a monster when sweet chili heat Doritos are around. NOM NOM NOM. And now I have an excuse to not eat them (my BF brings them home from time to time because I won't buy them for myself and he knows they are a favourite comfort food, lovely gesture but does not help my waist line). Feel a bit guilty about cultural appropriation, but I am doing this to help my Dad too, and hey, I was born and kinda raised Catholic.
Also dear followers if I'm not following you leave me a comment and I will. <3
I have certain foods that I am a monster around.
ReplyDeleteInfact most yummy foods, which is why they are kept in the house, but crisps! Any crisps, or chocolate in the house. Monster
I'm very lucky. I don't like chocolate, people try to tempt me with it all the time, I don't think people believe me when I say I don't like it.
DeleteWe all have foods we give in to :( Which are always high calorie food :( It's good your giving up chips for lent :D It'll sure help you lose weight!! xx
ReplyDeleteI do avoid chips at most costs anyways, but giving into one bag always leads to two or three days where I eat a bag or more, which causes me to either put back on a few pounds or maintain then binge out of frustration.
DeleteI have decided to give up meat for lent, Partly because I don't like meat very much. And partly as a way to avoid food. I hope your lent goes well for you <3
ReplyDeleteThank you. I feel weird saying it's for lent since I'm one of those atheists who talks so much smack about God. I'm trying to frame it as a challenge with my Dad. If he caves in first I get $20.
DeleteGood luck with giving up meat. I gave up animal products several years ago. Best thing I have ever done.
OMG I am totally giving up chips as well. Yes we can! Xo
ReplyDeleteWe will totally do it. <3
DeleteI'm not catholic but I always give something up for lent.. always gives me an excuse to not eat soemthing. I normaly give up meat (which I dont eat alot anyways) but that why I'm not pressured to..this yr meat and sweets! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on giving up both meat and sweets. I know I couldn't give up all the junky food I eat (which is only 2 or 3 things semi regularily).
