By repenting, that means that YOU DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!!
According to the first and quickest online dictionary that I found (via google), repent means:
"To feel such regret for past conduct as to change one's mind regarding it"
"To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins."
So if you ARE TO REPENT, you MUST change your mind regarding what you have done, and to CHANGE FOR THE BETTER... which ultimately will mean that NOT ONLY will you not only do it again, but that the thoughts will start to dissapear from your mind.
If you can't do that... then you haven't repented.
