    Lent is this Wednesday. I’ll be doing no added sugar during lent as per usual. If anyone wants to join me you’re welcome to.

        You can choose whatever else that may suit. I choose sugar because that’s the easiest for me. After a week I choose something else to add to my no diet. And so forth.

        I have mini stroopwafels that will have to wait now.

        No lollies, cakes, biscuits, ice cream, chocolate, soft drinks etc. Fruit is allowed. I don’t have sugar in my hot drinks anyway.

        When I run out of cheese I’m not planning on buying anymore for a bit. But I have a fair amount of cheese in the fridge, dam you savemore.

          I would sooner give up all booze before cheese. I wish you strength!

            I’m not doing it for lent, just taking a break from cheese. I had a crack at veganism last year but I really like eggs, and a bunch of online vegans are total cocks about it.

            the only cheese I’ve had in months was the scraped bits left on a pizza after I took the cheese off last week

        That would be really hard.

          I love butter too , every biscuit, cake, chocolate , sour cream on tacos, yoghurt, pizzas

          the list goes on 😟

          I have replaced much with oat milk , cakes etc are now made with oil, I eat a lot of vegan stuff now as it’s safe

          I just had a homemade coconut milk and berry ice treat

            I’ve been putting hommus on my curries instead of yoghurt. When it’s a chickpea curry I degenerately call it chick on chick action.

      Hmmm no added sugar is slightly tricky for me but maybe I’ll give it a crack.

        You can choose whatever you want to give up. I do it as a personal challenge.
