Actually I have 3...LoL!!
3, I bite my nails! I've been doing it for 23 years and am not about to stop. I do occasionally stop every once a couple years, but I always turn right back around and bite them.
2, Swearing. I can swear like the best of them whether I'm in a sarcastic and teasing mood, or I'm just thoroughly p!ssed! I've been told that I'm a vulgar human being and it just made me laugh even harder!!
And the number one bad habit that I'm gonna keep (darn it!!)....SMOKING!! I could care less of the ration of sh!t I'm going to get for saying that, but I don't plan on giving it up any time soon in the next 20+ years. I know what I got myself into when I started so I don't need a lecture in that department...or any department for that matter!! It's my bad habit (along with other people's obviously) and I'm sticking to it!!

LoL that's funny, I thought I was the only one with those habits combined!! Because of my mouth my oldest was saying "puck", "puck it" and "chit", just like that when he was 2-3. I immediately had to correct him and cut my language back some too. Now I have two more that I'm gonna have to deal with, LMAO!! Really, what is a mom to do??!!

Yeah I sure do. I am a smoker and can't kick the habit. Have tried everything and nothing works. It's not socially acceptable any longer and most of my friends don't smoke. I enjoy smoking but know it's going to eventually wipe me out. This has been a habit for many years.

I would have to say my smoking habit will be here till nearly the day I die. I've smoked for 45 years and have tried many times and also many various ways to quit and seems I am not yet ready to give up the smokes.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I wanted to have healthy children, so stopped before getting pregnant. I suppose you have to want something more than you want to smoke. I loved smoking too, but it was good that I stopped. It's been 21 years next month!

I have a bad habit that i will keep whatever happens... well... it's drinking coca cola... every day during meals... i know that too much of on thing is bad for the body... but i just love drinking coke... and i have no plans of stopping...
But if ever i get pregnant again... for sure i will limit my intake... to like every other day or maybe twice a week... i love coke... but my unborn child's health is far more important...

I have two bad habbits I smoke and I bite my nails. I actually stopped biting my nails for a while then started again. I get so mad every time I look at them knowing that I was doing so good. Next thing I know I'm biting them again. And smoking I should quit, but I just don't want to. Cough cough - Let me smoke another one. Its gross I know but its me at least for now.

Okay, let me think of a reason to stop biting your nails - DIRT! You are putting icky dirt and bacteria in your mouth! That's my best shot - if you still want to, go bite your nails and if it relieves stress, probably not a bad thing..whit

I guess the only habit that I enjoy doing though I know is bad was, farting with a loud bang!LoL
I just can't help making a loud sound whenever I feel like it's gonna come out, my family hates it whenever I do that!;)
People should have to live with it, because I won't stop doing it.. Heehee!

Yes I sure do!....Smoking! Almost everyone is trying to guilt me into quitting. Especially the government!! I quit for a year after 40 odd years of smoking but started again as my lungs and breathing are perfectly healthy. I get checked every year and my doctor is sure it is because I am lacking the gene necessary for smoking to affect my health. So as long as I can afford to pay for it, to me is so expensive it has become a luxury item, I shall keep puffing away.

Oh yes yes yes ! I have tried since I was a young adult. I am the queen of procrastination. It even irritates me! I don't want to keep it. I think its gone. I don't intentionally indulge. I would never feed the beast. YET IT IS HERE over and over again. I am at its mercy. I am a slave to its voice. Whats a girl to do?

A very interesting discussion. Cheers to you for that and most unfortunate that I spotted it so late. Nonethelss I will respond.
I have this bad habit of staying up late into nights till 1am and sometimes even 2am. That consequently effects the time I get up the following morning. This is one habit that I would have done well to get over but I just cant let it go right now. :-P

Yes, I drink diet coke, I not only drink it, I love it and practically live on it all day long. Then I switch to iced tea, then back to diet coke again. I love the way it tastes first thing in the morning. I am not a coffee drinker, so this is my bad habit and indulgence.

Weight gain? I weigh about 110. I stopped drinking the DC a couple of years ago. I actually quit for about 18 months, and drank just iced tea. I gained more weight off of it than on. No, no sugar in the tea, just straight up!
