I haven't completely decided on what I'm doing yet.

The only real vice I have is my coffee, and I've already cut back on that consumption by half. Part of me is thinking of no music in the car. I will tell my DD that it can be hers too, and then it will be a 2fer

I've done that before

Are you giving up everything chocolate or just chocolate (like candy)

I gave up everything chocolate, and that was hard
No hot chocolate
No chocolate donuts
No chocolate pudding
No anything like that...............
I went through some serious withdrawl

 

[amyrocks20]

Well, i gave up candy for a month, including chocolate. I couldn't take it anymore, so i cheated

 

[Fitswimmer]

I'm giving up Hershey kissables, which are a HUGE addiction for me, I'm giving up an hour of TV a day-also a HUGE addiction. I'm going to add additional bible reading to each day as well, during that hour that I would normally be watching TV. I normally don't eat meat on Friday now, so I'm going to continue that.

I haven't decided yet but in the past I've given up chocolate or soda but since I've been on the low carb its not such a big deal anymore.

I may give up soda or coffee. It's gonna be tough though.

cursing...every time I slip, I put a quarter in the swear jar....last year I got my whole office into it and we ended up putting $27.75 in the poor box at church (sometimes, you just got to anti-up and let it fly!)

Last year I gave up Cokes, and it went well--lasting even beyond the season. But now I'm back at it again, so maybe that one again this year.

 

[MrsKreamer]

Anything with caffine...no coffee, soda, chocolate, tea...and I think I am going to add in swearing for good measure...I like the idea of a swear jar.

I got married during lent (on the Ides of March...March 15th...It was a St. Paddy's day theme complete with the green beer)...anyway, so many guests had given up alcohol for lent the priest (Irish to the bone) gave a dispensation to the attendees for the day.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Still thinking.

 

[kldmom2000]

Soda-not that I have much-maybe 1 can of Sprite a day, but most days I need the carbonation "fix" I did it last year.... and then continued for a few months until Disney
