You know something is bad for you - especially when done in excess - but you do it anyway.
you know something is good for you , but for whatever reason you tend to ignore it.
Years ago l knew a Cardiologist who was addicted to smoking. He finally kicked the habit - then started eating too much , subsequently becoming overweight.
l try to be very careful about what l eat, but l am guilty of adding a fair amount of salt to my food. I know it is not good for me.
Drinking the right amount of water each day is necessary for good health - yet l barely manage 2 or 3 glasses per day.
What do you do that you know is bad for you - but you do it anyway?
What do you know is good for you , but you avoid it ?

I like eating sweet foods. Ice cream, cakes, chocolates. I'm trying to restrain myself.

For years I knew soda was bad for me, but I drank it away. Until recently I finally stopped and started drinking tea. I also used to eat alot of junk food. I still eat some, but not as much now. I know drinking plain water is good for me, but I rather drink flavored water.

I think you need to start doing the right thing and gradually you'll get used to it.

That happens when someone gives up smoking they turn to something else and he turned to eating. I make the same mistakes over and over again and cannot stop myself I knew losing weight was good for me but I kept putting it off until I could no longer look at myself.

It is never too late , you can still do it but you have to convince yourself that you really want to lose it . The fact that a Cardiologist whose job is to diagnose and treat diseases of the heart couldn't stop smoking for a number of years shows how hard it is to do the right thing. He knows more than anyone else that smoking in excess can damage your heart. I think with strong conviction we can at least try .

Maybe there is a reason why he smoked and now stopped and now overeats. People have reasons why they cannot do things or maybe they try and just at the time do not succeed. It took me many years to see that I needed to lose the weight and keep the weight off and that is not an easy task.

When you have GERD , you definitely should not consume beverages which are highly acidic - like coffee. How do you feel after you drink a cup or two? I know it would be hard to give up. There is a coffee , TYLER's which claims to be 100% acid free you can probably try that one. And there are a few others with low acidic content.

I just like to eat too much in general, no specific foods but I am partial to chips.

I'm also one who uses too much salt and doesn't drink enough water. It's really hard to drink when you're not thirsty.
I'm thankful I never started smoking...I see what a terrible addiction it can be.
I do believe that most (not all!) things in moderation are okay and very few good things in excess are okay.

@Kandae11 The only way I can drink water is to get it really cold in ice.

I know yoga is good for me but sometimes oversleep. I don't eat much but I don't know why am I gaining weight though I work out everyday.

Those are two good questions. I think what I do that's bad for me is that I stay up too late on my computer. And what is good for me but I avoid it? Probably exercise. I do try to exercise every day, but sometimes I just squeeze in 15 or 20 minutes when I know I should do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.

I know I'm dehydrated, but I only drink a little water every day.

I really like sugary drinks like boba tea, chocolate drinks, etc
I know it's not good. I'm trying to reduce it

You can limit it by reducing it a little at a time. Like if you usually have three cups a day of the chocolate drink, start by having two a day, then 1 a day. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in your tea bit by bit. Too much sugar causes many health problems including eye damage.

I'm a disciplined man. I follow what is good and refrain from doing which is not good. But sometimes I come short and I know it. I'm doing my best not to be perfect but to be on "obedient"

I like adding raw salt to my food yet I know that is very harmful to my health.
