    Diet coke and Walkers sensations Thai sweet chilli crisps. I'm addicted to both. Can't give up chocolate though, it's vital to my sanity. I've never participated in Lent before but desparate times call for desparate measures.

    Might try give up sweets and chocolate again, did it when I was in secondary school and saved a fortune! Good for fitness too, and its a good motivation to keep with it the fact that you know how long you have to stick with it.

    i have a target goal in weight loss thread. i'm bang on where i was for the whole of last year, so i'm not unhappy with my weight, but reckon a few more pounds off would help.

    so the goal is to do it over lent. i go off chocolate and desserts every year, but this time will be throwing crisps into the mix as well, although i'd say i average a bag a week at most of them.

    the fact i'm travelling to asia on Saturday pretty much means lent start tomorrow for me. extra 4 days..:)

    Woah :eek: That there is just crazy talk. Fair enough with the sugar in coffee and the cereal bars they're mank anyway but what good is there left in life if you deprive yourself of biscuits and crisps and most importantly CHOCOLATE!!!!! I think you should reconsider your position :cool:
