Getting in here a little bit late, but what else is new?! I wasn't raised Catholic, but married a wonderful man who is and together we've learned to practice a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
In 1988, I gave up Oreo cookies (a big problem, I would usually eat the entire bag within two days
) and haven't had a single Oreo since then!
I gave up chocolate last year + while I don't indulge in the "dark evil goodies" as much anymore I felt that giving up chocolate would be a good thing to do this year, but for a different reason. This year I'm giving up chocolate (including my beloved fat-free hot cocoa) and all the bad vices that go along with it. Specifically, if I was eating chocolate it was usually at a buffet dinner at a friend's house. And before I knew it, I was not counting points, etc.
So, don't look for me at the dessert buffet. I'll be sipping water and looking for the carrots!
Karen Sue...happy to find you all again...
