Pride Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I forget to mention why not having M&Ms is so hard: I usually had about 4 packs worth a day Talk about chain-chewing bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wait, so Lux is talking about abstinence of M&Ms during lent? Some people give up meat, others give up lying, others still give up swearing... I give up M&Ms. hopefully I can stop wanting them in that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I forget to mention why not having M&Ms is so hard: I usually had about 4 packs worth a day No self control indeed. You might as well forget about giving up M&Ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 No self control indeed. You might as well forget about giving up M&Ms. I've made it for three days. That's a /huge/ milestone for me. Which is sad, but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) What? Don't mind me. Some people give up meat, others give up lying, others still give up swearing... I give up M&Ms. hopefully I can stop wanting them in that time I can't properly comment on this with words. How about you just... stopped buying them, huh?

Hatari Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm giving up M&Ms for Lent. I don't have to give up anything since I'm not technically Catholic. If you want, trick yourself into thinking I conveniently chose the length of Lent to exercise self-control. And yet it has nothing to do with Lent. See bolded for my problem. If you want to exercise self-control, do it. But there is no reason for you to use Lent to do so. Tying it to a religious holiday, one that you don't even celebrate is stupid. You claim it gives it some semblance of meaning if it's over lent...which doesn't make sense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 How about you just... stopped buying them, huh? You may as well tell a cigarette addict to quit smoking by not buying cigarettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I just looked it up. Lent in the Christian tradition, is the period of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Easter. ... This practice is common to much of Christendom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatari Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I forgot to mention. Actually I just looked it up. And I said I did not know if it was a Christian practice, but I knew it was a Catholic one. You said you are not catholic, but you said you could be atheist. You never did identify your religion Lux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 And I said I did not know if it was a Christian practice, but I knew it was a Catholic one. You said you are not catholic, but you said you could be atheist. You never did identify your religion Lux. I said I hold the Christian beliefs. If you really didn't get that, then let me state it blatantly: I'm a Christian. I just don't belong to any branch. I do believe what Catholics do but I'm not technically Catholic myself.

And tell your parents to not buy it anymore, either. Unless they like it. In that case, you're fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just leave it there (it's a BIG bag). My iron resolve for the sake of resisting temptation shall pull through! Thankfully my mother doesn't, and my father favors dark chocolate.
