I hope the soda still tastes good though. I've been substituting crystal light for the soda. It's alright, but I'd rather have a diet coke. I love trying all of the new sodas to. DX

I am tired of any temptations and I don't care if it is a lot to take on at once, I will let myself have something on my cheat day and that is it. I am drinking carrot juice right now, even, lol! I have been very ill and it is all I can do to move let alone exercise but I am sticking to eating well if it kills me and then as soon as I can I am back to working out as I feel like a darn balloon even! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

My biggest temptation is Fast food because I dont get out of work til 9 and im 16..I live with my dad and he doesnt go food shopping. He just gives me like 10$ a day. I hope all this helps me.

Pick your temptation and post it as your goal for the next two weeks. I am working on the sweets right now, have stopped drinking pop from the first challenge, which means I have as of now saved myself plus or minus nearly 8,000 calories since then! I also stopped pizza for two weeks, I won't stop eating pizza altogether like I hope to with the pop, but I will eat far less when we do have it! Good luck with your goals and keep us posted as to your progress! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

Vedakathryn Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2004/05/28	2005/03/28, 10:22 AM OKAY - who is in for this weeks challenge? I am switching it back to a week at a time so it is easier to follow, but keep doing your challenge after your week is up! I am still on the sweets/snacking challenge, I did have a piece of pumpkin pie on my cheat day, but threw most of it away, just allowing myself a couple bites. It wasn't worth it anyway! :) Onward and Forward to all! Good luck and please post your challenges! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

Don't give up or give in! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
