Ok, this may be really sad or whatever, but at least right now i am admitting my completely and total lack of motivation. I cant ever seem to convince myself that its worth getting my butt outta bed in the morning. Yeah, like the extra 10 minutes in bed is really gonna help... ANYWAY.. since i have no backbone when it comes to this kinda stuff, i need a freakin holiday to help. Well i guess im real lucky then. For those of you who dont know, next wednesday starts Lent, a christan holiday (im not religious, its more like a tradition in my family) where you give up one thing, and dont do/eat/whatever IT until Easter, which is like 40 some days later. SO, i will not be eating meat, or chocolate or anything like that. HOPEFULLY that long a time will help to pruge my system of its incredible sweet-tooth. Along with that i will be exercising. ITs too cold to do stuff outside- but i can do inside stuff and i play basketball twice a week. Do you all think that this 40days will help me to loose my initial goal of 25lbs? I want to be 145 (im 5'9) before i go home in July. And i think if Lent gives me a head start, then i kann keep it up and get down to 135 by the time i really get home!! Let me know your thoughts!!

Reply from Katherine, Age 15 - 02/04/05 - IP#: 68.100.185.xxx i did the same thing last year, i gave up chocolate, but i couldn't do it and i felt really guity when i failed. remember, lent is about giving up something and remembering. it really shouldn't be used as an excuse to give up food so you can lose weight. you can give up food, but weight loss should not be the purpose of lent. and you don't need lent to give something up, start right now!!!!! make a holiday in your mind, like its Kathryn day!!!! and make it worth it to urself to keep your goal. good luck and just keep thinking that you are always worth it, and u don't need a holiday to prove that!! good luck!
