What is the one thing you cannot give up?

@pgntwo I can sleep on other beds :p

@Drosophila Few are as comfy as your own... and when I am asleep in a bed, it is, by definition, my bed. Or my side of it, at least...

@Ghostdmo Zzzzzz...

@Happy2BeMe So no cheese cake? now thats yum

Luckily I've never had a sweet tooth, but I do love savory snacks

@Drosophila I don't care for any other kind of sweets like cake. cookies, pies etc. though.

@Drosophila I do not indulge myself. Seriously, I read the responses and I see that it is some kind of food for many. For once, I will follow the mass : you can remove anything you want in my diet and I will not protest... ...I like variety when it comes to food, so I will be happy to find a replacement.

lol.. its not about stopping.. it's about giving up? what little indulgences you can't give up?

That is very sweet :)

absolutely! I agree. The good thing is we don't have to give up time alone with God. unlike good food for dieting.

@just4him best luck with it :D

@Drosophila True. The best diet food is fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm doing well on this diet along with swimming.

One thing I read the other day.. which you may light is "life is not about surviving the storm, it's about dancing in the rain"

@Drosophila Uhmmmmmm

@Drosophila ... Mango with garlic in it...

@vandana7 now that sounds intriguing! would like to try

oooh what kinda pickles?

Mmm.. Definitely keeping in touch with family is very important.. which reminds me, I should call my Ma :D

@DanieGirl80587 actually I tried giving up Coffeee.. man, not advisable. I almost fell asleep at work. you're right.. that's now another thing I can't give up

You're funny. Lol

giving up working is a no.. for sure.. lol :D

I agree with that, I love working myself. it's great when you can positively apply your skills and get paid for it. Though, I must say, going through my poverty stretch worked out really well. It has grounded me in ways that university has not done. University was a bit of a bubble, while I was working to pay for my living expenses, I had illusions that graduation meant I'd walk into a job and be instantaneously ok. Evidently, that was not the case, I graduated with outstanding results and massive debts to pay off. As the rejection letters piled up, it really didn't look like I was going to get anywhere great for a while. Now in retrospect, that period did me a whole lot of good, it showed me to be realistic in my expectations but to be confident in my abilities. At the same time, it really showed me who my friends were.. so ya won't trade that period for the world

It doesn't have to be material.. it could be simple little indulgences, like sleeping that extra hour etc

Family for sure is on the list

@Drosophila ofcourse

Absolutely, one need things to keep life going

@Drosophila the internet makes you even more curiouser because it's much easier than finding a book. but then it also makes us "expect" that there's "always" a writeup, a picture, and a video about whatever it is online; that text, images, audio and motion are "the norm."

@hereandthere that is very true indeed, we can even ready different things at once

That's very true, nothing to read would be very scary

@Drosophila lol but I love to drink it while on y computer, or should I say the Internet, I could live if I just had my iPhone or my iPad.

@BelleStarr ah you're a i-product person too lol

hahaha ya coffee is my essential too

That is very true indeed

If that person happens to be yourself then aye!

ya, I'm having to forgo some really good food too
