When I read the title, 'Thigh July', I expected something else entirely.

Book me a plane ticket to anywhere.. it's time for "Mile High July"

I intend to don a fedora and dark glasses for a little thing I like to call "Sly July".

I'm afraid I'm with Doc on this. Never let temptation pass you by as it may not pass by again.

There are some great turns of phrase in this post. I think I need to sit somewhere, both Smaug like AND as a giant bladder.

2010-06-28T15:05:36.926+10:00

Oh my god, that is a frightening proposal you have made, and that you have snared Jenny in this web of denial makes it even more terrifying.

I thought about giving up coffee for the month in support but that just made me break out in a sweat and have visions of me bludgeoning people on the street or screaming incoherently at co-workers.

Best of luck and all the support I can muster for this brave, mad endeavour.

Personally, I'm about to purchase a great deal of puff pastry and embark upon 'Pie July'.

Good on you GC. I read this and briefly flirted with doing the same thing, but then I came to my senses and realised I'd be off the bandwagon in days.

Hey gang - thanks for the comments so quickly! As you all know, I love comments. ;)

Dan - I have read somewhere randomly that drinking things like chai is good to distract you from sugar cravings etc... pity I don't like tea. Celery might be a winner. Certainly crunching down half a stick is enough to take your mind off eating completely.

Jasper - Thank Christ no month rhymes with "hot chips" as well. Now I'm just going to have to rely on Katy Perry for my candy fix... MELT YOUR POPSICLE.

Jen - that's cool! I just made this rash decision as I was drifting off to sleep last night, so hell, happy for you to make spur of the moment decisions as well! We can encourage each other via Twitter etc. It will be very awesome.

Doc - Look, I totally agree. I'm not into guilt tripping about food. Over recent months I've considered whether I should diet again, do diet shakes or a program... but I just wind up thinking "Why bother?" This is sort of a good way for me to try something - I make it a challenge. A weight loss program seems hard and insurmoutable and dull. But taking on a challenge to write about it? Now that's something I can apply my mind to.

Too bad you didn't choose a suspension of Apple-hating instead. You could have called it 'iJuly'.

2010-06-28T10:40:55.912+10:00

Meh this denying yourself pleasures thing is just giving in to moralistic nimrods or Catholic guilt or whatever. Life's too short to deny yourself fun in the hope of brownie points (mmm brownies) or some sort of spurious afterlife payoff. I plan to drink beer for July. Good beer. As for you GC, you're not unhealthy, eat chocolate and be happy.

2010-06-28T10:32:38.662+10:00

GC? I'll do it with you. I'm inspired! I am, of course, sucking down a chocolate milkshake as I read this but starting July 1 I will give up chocolate for a whole month with you.

:D Thanks for kicking me in the butt for motivation!

Oh wow. That's commitment for blog fodder. I like it! Also, it's at this point that I get down on my knees and thank all the deities that come to mind: No month of the year rhymes with "nachos" or "salt and vinegar chips". My vices are safe.

2010-06-28T10:12:58.772+10:00

Brilliant. Good luck. Maybe you should find something to replace chocolate with. Chai July? Broccoli July? Celer,..eye July?
