What is your biggest vice?

What is the one thing you cannot or will not ever give up?
Mine is fairly typical and it's coffee. I never drink more than 2 cups per day but I would rather give up desserts, alcohol, sweets, pizza, TV, Facebook and my mobile phone than give up coffee! Once I tried to replace coffee with herbal tea on advice from my doctor (apparently caffeine and anxiety don't mix well) but only lasted 2 weeks. I figure a little dose of daily caffeine is better than constant headaches and irritability! My favourite is a long macchiato, still has the volume of a latte but less calories.
What fun is life without at least one little vice... what's yours?

Diet coke. Attempting to give it up for Lent. We'll see!0

Chocolate. All the chocolate. In all forms. I'm actually giving it up for lent.. Shall we see if I can last 40 days? :P0

Sriracha
Honey Soy Chicken Wrap from McDonalds (probably has neither honey or soy... or chicken in it either LOL)
And Diet Coke... lots and lots of diet coke (I dont drink coffee or tea)0 -
Where to begin. There is so much I would never give up. Too many sensations, too many indulgences.
If anyone has ever seen Futurama, when it comes to food I'm like that Hedonism-bot that they have.
Fried calamari, fried chicken, teriyaki chicken with sushi and rice, steak...the list goes on.
Not that any of that matters, I pretty much have to control myself around those foods. Or at the very least, avoid them and binging for as long as possible.
But it's better to be a hot, fit hedonist than it is to be an overweight one. So suffer now, and smile later.0 -
I have one particular hangup. Hard to understand or discuss.
But really, Barro's Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
I can eat a whole large. Soooo buttery and spicy.0 -
Biggest vice? Maybe procrastination. Maybe distractability; I'm working on that but never hard enough. OK, here I am at quarter to 1 am, meant to be in bed by 12:30 and I'm playing on the Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games message board when I still haven't finished even a little bit of the cleanup I meant to do tonight. Thanks for "waking me up", and GOOD NIGHT.0

Bread. I always say "I'll just keep a loaf in the freezer for when I'm really short on time" and end up eating it twice a day. Grrr! Just can't have it in the house =(0

Being 23 I'm still quite fond of drinking during the weekends, and I like to feel a little wobbly. (Always have a DD/taxi of course) So I would definitely say the booze are my biggest vice.0
-
Pineapples. The one food I find it difficult to control myself with. Honestly I could probably eat an entire pineapple in one sitting. That's why I only ever buy it in small doses.0

at one point i would have said pepsi but i kicked that over a year ago (don't even miss it!) i was drinking an entire 2L a day.
I would say CHOCOLATE. Huge chocolate lover... lets see how long i last without it. :P0 -
chocolate covered sultanas0

Alcohol - the need for escapism gets the best of me at times!0

Strong post.0 -
There are lots of things I wouldn't give up, but imagining a life without bread or cheese is just soooo bleak.0
-
Fatty, or sugary food. Anything with comfort feeling in it. And my other vice, smoking, yup I love a good cigar or cigarette but I try not buy them anymore, just when I am stressed or am drinking which isn't often. Another vice is falling love with the wrong guy. So many vices0
-
Pizza. I can't just have one slice. I can give up and control everything else: sugar, coffee, chips, chocolate, but set pizza in front of me and I become possessed. Sigh. It doesn't even help if I tell myself, "It's not like you will never find a slice of pizza again..." My brain disagrees. :ohwell:0
