We will need to rename the thread then, Dry Lent.
I am doing the same! And also crisps because that’s 100% what I’ve replaced alcohol with so far this year...Think il join you in the alcohol free lent. I’m also giving up Instagram haha. I enjoyed the 2 glasses of wine I had on Monday but happy to get back on the sober train until Easter.
It’s great isn’t it!Happy Day 50 to those still going from New Year! Feeling good about another sober weekend, I wasn’t even tempted when I was offered with with dinner today... sadly my willpower with crisps was less strong but you can’t have it all.
Thank you to whoever recommended the lime and mint Robinson’s cordial, so tasty!!
i had it with soda instead of normal water to feel poshIt’s great isn’t it!I might try popping some fresh mint in so I feel really exotic
I do soda, ice and lime quarters but might go the whole hog with fresh mint to make it a proper nojito!i had it with soda instead of normal water to feel posh

I 100% relate to that. Have been off booze entire Jan and some Feb. Gained weight, unfortunately. So yes, Lent is going good so far. No cravings. Has anyone tried Kombucha? It’s only 9 calories per can and reminds me of beer a bit. Stay strong everyone. Once everything is over we will emerge like gorgeous fresh butterflies... otherwise it’s my profile photoSo far so good for Dry Lent. I would like to lose another 10lb or so by summer and I haven't lost any weight since I started drinking again after DJ, in fact I have gained 2lb! I always try and kid myself that calories in alcohol aren't the same as food but the scales don't lie. It is a lot easier just being at home though, last night I was folding washing at 7pm, not normal Friday night behaviour
Hoping the results on the scale start to show so that will keep me motivated. Anyone else given up chocolate for lent too? I am just wondering what the rules are on chocolate flavoured things being allowed e.g. cocoa powder stirred into porridge, low cal hot chocolate etc
I have tried Kombucha years ago in the states but wasn’t a fan, maybe I’ll give it another go and see if my palate has changed. Where did you buy it from?I 100% relate to that.

Tesco’s sells raspberry and apple flavour. Chocolates... I’m all or nothing girl. If it’s on my way, the entire box will be gone. Very much the same as with alcohol. I’ve an addictive personality. Don’t know why. I come from a country where the the food rationed. Perhaps that’s why. Never enough, never satisfiedI have tried Kombucha years ago in the states but wasn’t a fan, maybe I’ll give it another go and see if my palate has changed. Where did you buy it from?
Postman has just been with a care package my lovely friend sent me including a load of chocolate she knows I like, damn herneed to get one of those boxes you set a date/time on until you can open it!
I’m the exact same! Totally all or nothing. I was tidying the kitchen earlier this week and found some dark chocolate I’d bought for baking in the cupboard and thought Jesus I’m glad I forgot that was there when I was on a mission to eat everything sweet in the house the other night! I also have an addictive personality, as much as I can over indulge I can also quite easily get obsessed with diet/exercise. Oh to have a happy mediumTesco’s sells raspberry and apple flavour.
