I'm giving up________for Lent.



Recommended Posts

I think I'm giving up my scale for lent! This is going to be the hardest thing for me to do, because I am a daily/multiple times a day weigher. I think this is going to help me remove my obsessive focus from the numbers. Anyone else giving up something?

Ohh... The scale. That is a good one. I think I'll join you in that challenge. I'm 3 lbs away from onderland and have been obsessing over that scale, this just may be the break I need. Great idea, thanks for posting.

Holy cow!! I wasn't planning on giving anything up because I usually do sweets or fried food... & now I don't eat any of that stuff or caffeine or sodas or anything... But the scale!! Man! That is a Good one!! I weigh myself everyday!! I should totally give it up... I'm having anxiety just thinking about doing it... Aaaahh!! 40 days without knowing what my weight is?

Ok... I'm in!!!

LOL Yep ;) I've given up many of my pre surgery bad food habits which were my 'lent' give up things pre-surgery....and um, I'm not brave enough to give up the scale, I believe that holds me accountable.

For those of you giving up the scale - I cannot wait to hear how exciting it is going to be when you get back on - it will be such a reward to see the drop in weight!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
