Well Deny-ember is a good word - I'd never heard it before, but it sums up what I shall be trying this December - with some success I hope.

I'm sorry, Dobo, but I have absolutely no idea what you mean!

I think Dobo may be talking about me giving up crisps for December- I called it Denyember- my take on Stoptober with the alcohol!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to RG07]

Oh I see! I think!

Thanks for explaining! What word is the deny part??

Maybe Donember, or Desistember, or Discontember?

[RG07 Maintainer in reply to moreless]

denying myself the pleasure of crisps! though I maybe very discontented by the end of the month.

Aaahh!! I've been wracking my brain for the word!

You'll be fine, the longer you go without, the less you'll want them

Hello moreless - RG07 described the meaning - I guess I see it as a kind of self-denial of Christmas treats similar to cutting out sweets, or whatever in Lent! I shall try anyway!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Dobo20]

Good for you Dobo, I'm sure you'll manage it!

I certainly hope so Moreless - at least things sem more possible than in previous years. I really am enjoying hearing from people who have similaar issues to mine.
