What's your bad habit?

My bad habit was smoking, but have been smoke free for one whole week now! I know its just a start but I cant turn back now. I just gotta take it one day at a time!

Congrats on staying smoke free for a week. A very difficult, but not impossible, task.

Most def the drinking on the weekends...BUT on April 29th I have been 1 year smoke free!!! :drinker:

Same here with the drinking...I have yet to quit smoking But SOON. Very soon. I'm getting there mentally and I know I'm just about over the edge and ready to quit. Congrats on your year! That's a major accomplishment :flowerforyou:

Quit drinking about 12 years ago, but still working on quitting smoking. The more I workout, the less I crave, so SOON I will be ready to quit for good.

Horrible sweet tooth. It doesn't help that my husband has one too so there are always sweets in the house. If I don't see them, however, I can do without them.

^This is me!! My boyfriend has just as bad of a sweet tooth as me, and is in fact starting to put on a few pounds himself because of it... but he's not overweight by any stretch of the imagination so I'm letting him do what he wants. In fact, it's almost good that he can shovel it all down, because his mom has this habit of buying sweets for us! :laugh:

Drinking wine! But I've had the aha moment, hopefully. I work out pretty hard (5-10) hours per week. I've realized that the wine is sabotaging all of that hard work! I am basically wasting my time as far as weight loss goes. SO, I am trying to seriously cut back. I'm beginning to look at it like the enemy! I would never eat a big bowl of ice cream for the guilt so why substitute that ice cream with wine? The wine is probably worse because not only does it pack on the calories but it also slows down your metabolism. I read an article today that says that every time you drink your body starts to work hard to get rid of the toxins and stops burning fat. That just doesn't work for me!

Same for me. Drinking alcohol sabotaged my weight loss every time so I gave it up. Drinking a beer or glass of wine is like eating a full candy bar but worse, because with a candy bar I can limit myself to just one but if I'm drinking I always have more than one. I still drink for really special occasions but most times I just stick to water and I don't miss it.

Mine is kebabs,
I have a constant craving for them, they in my mind 24-7.
My way of dealing with those thoughts, is working out how much per month I would spend on them, they look for something I really want, and save the money I would normally of spent on them.

Current project obtained is google nexus 4, next project save up for the new motorola x at end of june.

I am finding as long as I got something to aim for i can boost my will power, but it certainly aint easy.

My bad habits are Wine, Women and food!!!

What do you expect from a King!!!

Eating and then just sitting around.:noway:

Two (related to food that is): Eating while standing up instead of sitting at the table & Reading while eating

When I am not focused solely on the meal at hand, I mindlessly overeat.

Definitely red wine but gave it up for Lent (was challenged to do so by my son who thought I would never last the pace). Inside my head I thought so too but 5 weeks have passed with lunches and dinner with friends and NO wine for me. I am surprised actually chuffed to bits with myself but looking forward to a glass with lunch on Easter Sunday

I leave my clothes in a little pile on the floor, drives my Husband crazy, my excuse is that a Jedi died there!

This is going to make me laugh all day.

Honestly, I like to drink...... like to have 2 or 3 glasses of wine at night when I am getting dinner ready for everyone, making lunches for the next day and than to relax. On the weekend, beer with lunch , etc. I don't go crazy on the drinks, but sure it does not help. Oh, and bread...... have to have bread with my dinner and now have the kids hooked on it so they expect it!!!

I'm with you. It's the wine.

Yup, me too! its the wine and too often :drinker: :bigsmile:

Well, my bad habit is Snickers Peaanut Butter Squares. It started almost 1 yr ago! I had lost 25 lbs & felt great until a friend on facebook posted a picture that brought back bad memories of rejection! It was just this unconrollable impulse to eat this comforting food. It must have some chemical of satisfaction in the brain or something.

I keep trying to put this friend out of my mind, but this hurt keeps coming back & I eat for comfort. It is ridiculous because I have a wonderful husband & family. I think I'm just dealing with some old feelings that were never dealt with years ago! I'm hoping this website can get me back on track without paying a fortune for another weight loss program that always results in gaining back more than I lost!

I just keep trying to take one day at a time & convince myself the old friendship is sabatoging by sucess for a happy & thin life. I have decided not to put anymore into the friendship because I'm always the one making it work - and it's hurting me now. So must let it go. Can't hold on to something that no longer makes you happy. Even if it is your oldest friend in the world.

soda! I switched over to diet over the last few months and was having atleast a can or two a day...now i'm down to a can or two a week. I just chewed gum, drank water or got up for a walk around the office everytime the craving hit
