Rosie, I guess it would count. I did chocolate one year then binged on it come easter day. Did all dairy in college - that was tough! And have no idea what I'm doing this time! All food during day light crossed my mind, but don't know if that would work.

My new Lent Tradition: I'm going to give up one thing permanently (if I can) and one thing for the 40 days. I'm going to give up worrying too much and for forty days I'm going to give up chocolate

After thirty odd years I am going to try and stop smoking. I gave up when I was pregnant (1983 and 1989) and for about four months a couple of years ago, but I'm really going to try this time, starting at midnight tomorrow... That's my only vice I'm afraid. Sheila

Jac Report 19 Feb 2007 21:06

I am giving up absolutely nothing! zilch! nana! zero! I am on my fifth week of being without fags, I have run out of places to put the patches, I have zits from the chocs I have been devouring in place of the cigs, the fat is oozing from beneath my top garments, I get through 2 jars of nescafe a week (not decaf!!!) and you are asking what I'm giving up???? Lol Jacqui
