Dolphin Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I need some support, it is 9am and I already miss it. As soon as I tell myself I can't do/have something, I want it. I am just wondering if anyone else is going facebook free for the next 40+ days. Oh, and yes, I know there are those on here who have not succumb to the powerful brain drain of facebook. I am talking to those who use and love it. Cheers, Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoshannon Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Not this year but I did 2 years ago. It was hard but was WONDERFUL! I didn't feel attached to the computer and honestly was a better mom for it. I did give up other forums too. I think I pretty much just checked email and maybe the disboards during that time. You can do it. I think the first couple of days were the hardest. I made sure to post on facebook that I was giving it up for Lent so that people would know that I couldn't be reached through that venue for a while.

3lilreds in NC Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I did! It really, really stinks sometimes! I know it's really good for me, though. The point of Lent is to give up something sacrificially, so I know we're both doing that, Nicole. If it was easy, it wouldn't be accomplishing anything for us, right? I am having a hard time with it too. It's very lonely for me without FB, so I know I need to make an effort to find some local people to spend time with. It's too easy for me to get all my socializing from the computer. I am beginning to think I need an internet break. I've managed to fill my time quite nicely by coming back to the boards more. I do think it's more productive over here, though, because I can actually get some questions answered. The curriculum board has sucked me right in again, though, and now I'm in a spiral of curriculum research. Sigh. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am giving up cokes. We'll see if I make it until tomorrow. :D I tried to give up diet Coke. Some days I do pretty well, but I have to tell you, since giving up FB, I am returning to DC. It feels like taking a sedative, almost. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 I gave up coke 2 years ago for Lent. Then I gave it up again August 5th 2009, so I am approaching 2 years with no coke. I am not allowing myself any coke until I am below 200 pounds. I really wish I was not so slow on the weight loss. Thanks for the support on fb. I am just so used to logging in a quickly scrolling to see what everyone is up too. I feel disconnected. It is good though, it will force me to make some changes to my daily routine.
