Top 10 Things to Give Up For Lent, or Forever!
Posted on 2/16/2012 by dsjohndrow
Some of us have a religious upbringing, and at the very least we have learned from the news about sacrificing something for Lent. Now that I have run out of teenagers and livestock, I had to put together a new list.
The principal of sacrifice is to give up something that is meaningful to you, which; reminds you of the atonement. For some it's booze, others it is treats, and some swearing at the TV. You may not have made up your mind, so here are a couple of thoughts.
-1 Tebowing: Though it might make 2012 New Words List for Webster's American English Dictionary, that fad is over. You can now sit on your a$$ in the end field crying like Tom Brady.
-2 Diary Lying: Is that all you ate? Come on! And remember, omission is the same. Log it!
-3 Board Bitching: Posting stupid rants to inflame others on the message boards. GTFU!
-4 Worshipping the Scale: The scale is a false God, I suggest the true religion of the tape measure!
-5 Posting Before Searching in the Message Boards: People, you are not the first one to try losing weight using MFP. Yes, you should eat your exercise calories! No wait, don't! I mean just half of them!
-6 Making Excuses for Overeating: It's your life, how about emptying the junk from the house, buying healthy food for the week, and planning for it too? Going out to eat? Just about every restaurant has a dietary menu. You should bookmark them in your smart phone.
-7 Incomplete Statuses: You know the type, just enough info so people will ask you what's going on? IE: "I can't believe I ate one!" What? Are you allergic to peanuts, is that why you couldn't finish the post? Or, "I am going to kill somebody!" As long as it's you, I guess I won't call 911. "I know somebody who slept with Obama!" Other than, Michele?
-8 Posting Toilet Cleaning as Cardio: There are some things you need to keep to yourself.
-9 Weighing In Every Single Day: Makes you nuts, right?
-10 Paying with Pennies: It makes people mad who are waiting inline behind you!
Thanks for the votes and comments. See you after vacation!
