    Snacking at night. It was my worst habit. Would eat well all day and then blow it at home after dinner.

    I quit smoking 7 years ago,
    More recently....Cut way back on sugar, don't ever hardly eat wheat/ wheat products....
    I don't eat much dairy either, some may not consider that a bad habit but I try to cut out all inflammatory foods.....I stray every now and then and soon regret it in my belly, and joints, and tempers flair!

    -Soda (3.5 yrs with none)
    -Fast Food - Every now and then I'll have some but I ALWAYS skip fries and go with grilled chicken when available
    -Avoiding exercise
    -Restricting
    -Weighing everyday - Haven't weighed since May 28...going by pics and how my clothes feel
    -Binging - I consider 2,000+ cal in one sitting a binge
    -Extreme over-exercising - 2+ hours a day on low cal intake
    -White bread
    -Fried things

    Occasional treats are great, but don't make them a habit ;)

    i drink tons of water and only 2 cups of coffee, i sleep better now instead of awake all night with insomnia, i stand up straight, i smile, i talk to strangers, i got rid of all my ill-fitting clothes, and i deleted anyone on my friends list who brought me down instead of built me up. I have lost almost 10 lbs in 3 weeks of using MFP, and i feel amazing.

    Wow great job everyone!! Reading all your responses I was sitting here going "Oh ya I used to do that, too." and "I totally know what you mean!" I am drinking more water, less pop, waking up early enough to have breakfast at home instead of at a gas station, eating "grown up" cereals instead of sugary kid cereals...and whoever said about eating the lunch meat while making a sandwich, that was so me!! Was. =)

    Kicking the soda habit was really hard, but now I only drink that in a mixed drink. And Chex mix for lunch :)

    Drinking water first and not drinking any beverages with added sugar. I now crave water and have actually quit liking the taste of sodas with sugar in it! That is big for me because I use to be a 4-cans of DrPepper drinker a day at one point. How I did not die of dehydration, I will never know.

    Now, also fried foods and fast food seem to really wreck havoc on my stomach and are on the way out of my diet completely.
