Re: Could you do this for 21 days??

Last year in 2013 just before Christmas I did that for 10 days to prepare for all the extra eating ect...... It was harder than I thought it would be and physically hurt giving up sugar and sweets. But I noticed my clothes were looser and I so enjoyed the holidays with a little growing room. Thank goodness I did not need to do it for this year. It was a struggle every day but worth it. My goal was for only 10 days but I cannot imagine doing 21.

I'm pretty sure I could but I probably wouldn't. I think I do better when I allow myself one gooey treat a week. I don't feel as deprived that way.

For $100? No way.

For $1,000? Perhaps.

For $1,000,000. Absolutely! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I've done it for Lent loads of times, but I pretty much only struggle to give up the chocolate and bread. I don't eat the other stuff on the list very often anyway. I could live the rest of my life without fast food or soda.

Barb,

The diet looks to easy.

There is no limit on the intake of the other foods allowed. I could do that.

My problem would be the amount of intake of healthy foods.

I could give up everything EXCEPT for the chocolate, it is a must have, almost daily, for me.

Unfortunately, I do not think I could. I am practically addicted to 2 items on the list. Most of the others I could do without.

The only thing I eat from this list is a square of Dove dark chocolate after lunch everyday. That's my dessert. I could cut it out totally since I'm not a big chocolate eater.

Why not? 21 days is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
