What One BAD HABIT would you QUIT if you could?

That is a difficult habit to overcome. But, I am sure you can do it. I have been around that kind of behavior, and, it can be so stifling, no offense, and make us feel so stepped upon. But, I am glad that you do not do it intentionally. The people that I know, do it, on purpose.

That is a tough one, I know. I do not eat a lot of junk food, I believe. I hardly eat all those unhealthy snacks that were so popular to us when we were children. I do love chocolate, and try to stick with dark chocolate most. However, I just cannot let go of my coffee...Now, when you say that you crave sweets, how often? Because, I could go years without donuts, and things like that. But, because I like variety, I eat a cookie or some chips every now and then. I never realized that it is not a craving for me...lol.

I think that my coffee habit is getting to me, actually, lol. For example, I have too much acid in my system, and it is very bad on my stomach and my livers. Also, I think that in a few years it is goingto age me significanly, because it dehydrates my skin and stains my teeth, etc. I am working on cutting down and also on combatting that bad habit with more water and skin hydration, and etc. Also, I think that cutting down on smoking, is a good step, quitting will be even better. My hubby quit years ago, and now, he gets very grossed out and uncomfortable by smoke. So, when you do decide to quit, it will make a big change in your life. I know, that I have only gone a few months without coffee, and I hear you, I cannot even imagine doing that again, lol.

Thanks. I have never been a nail biter. It is something that grosses me out (no offense). I get grossed out, because I know that there are so many germs living under our nails, no matter how clean our hand are. Even now, as an adult, I am pretty clean, however, I just cannot imagine sticking my fingers in my mouth, unless they are really, really clean, and for sure, not my nails, lol. I don't know if you have ever thought of that aspect. However, I do have other anixety habits, that are different mechanisms that nail biting. Such as pacing and tapping my feet. So, not only is biting your nails going to mess up your teeth (the enamel, as you say), but, it is also unsanitary. So, I hope, lol, maybe I grossed you out enough to cut down. I know, that if I get a doctor's review on the damage coffee is doing to me, I will be so freaked out, however, I have never gone for that issue. I will have to eventually. Good luck to you also.

I am glad that you are trying so hard, that is so good for you. And, I believe that the more times that you and your hubby keep trying to quit, the easier it will become in the long run. Also, I believe that you are doing the right thing, because you are putting your health as a concern, and are trying to make a change, even if it is still not what you wanted, which is to quit entirely, cutting down, to every once in a while, is a good start.

Yes, it is not always easy to quit cold turkey. Only some people have that ability. Take it slow, get some help while doing that, and you can do it, if you really want. It will make your life so much more fresher and you will feel lighter. That is what my hubby says, about it after he quit.

I feel that I am a rusher also. In fact, another bad thing that I tend to do, is not give people the chance to speak (specifically my hubby), when he has something to say, or an idea, or even a suggestion, because I tend to feel that it is something that I already know, which is terrible. I am working on it, and, I think it is more than impatience, it is also a trust issue. I am learning, to just keep my mouth shut, and then give my opinion afterwards...

Yes, yes, I do have other bad habits...lol. And, some of them, are the kinds that influence others. Such as the fact that I sometimes do not let others speak when they would like to. However, this is something that seems to happen most with my family, and that includes my hubby. I am begining to think that it isi because I am used to having to speak quickly or I would lose my chance...however, I realize that I need to work on that, and I have been trying to. But, personally, coffee is my biggest problem, lol, all other bad habits, that I might have, are not as detrimental to me as the coffee problem, because they are not things that I do regularly. I usually am pretty good about everything else...but, you are right, there are some mannerisms that I would like to fix also, and honestly, some of my pet peeves need to be loosened up, and all that boils down to, is not being so much of a stick in the mudd, lol.

Yes, I agree with you. It is so difficult to stop something that we have grown accustomed to, that is why it is a bad habit, lol. But, some people just do not understand. I do not eat early either, unless I am very hungry. However, sometimes, I make myself, even if it is a small thing, like a fruit, or a cereal bar, or even just a few small healthy snacks. Also, I do not eat late, late, at night ( I regret it in the morning), because I feel very sickly in the morning. I have learned, that there are some habits, that I have broken, by making life changes. Such as wanting to feel better about myself, etc. I hope that you can find a way to break your bad habit, I feel with you, that is my bad coffee drinking problem here...I am already on my second mug for the day.
