Chocolate, crisps, cakes, sweets and chips! Need to lose a stone, but I am a pig and eat all the wrong things.

one year i gave up religion -- i mean this in a completely serious manner too. other than church on sundays, i stopped doing traditional things that came after Christ that kept me from focusing on what God was really about, and when I wanted to do something religious, I would talk to God & build a real relationship.
it worked for me!
it's against my relationship [with God, of course] to have a religion!
