Bad habits!

[wooÐs]

Post ur's!

• Smoking
• Touch my face / rub my eyes when not wearing make up - still have great skin tho
• Drink too much coffee in a day
• I say 'fridgerator' instead of 'refrigerator' cuz I'm edumacated :/
• I use too much hairspray - 2 different kinds - and no, it doesn't look like I do
• I sigh way too often. Even if I have no reason to sigh, I just will. It's like my brain is programmed to sigh to release excess energy from my body. I always feel better after a good sigh. But this drives people, especially coworkers, nuts.

I eat crap. I don't understand how anyone can eat fruit as a snack. When I'm done with fruit, it's time for real food ffs. Like, gimme a burger or something satisfying instead of plants.

[BadNick]

I was just about to put this off for a while, but as hard as it is for me to do it now I'm trying, trying, trying....


- procrastination
- I eat a little too much for my activity level...I want to eat less and work out more
- I squish saliva through my teeth pretty often after I eat to get the pieces out...kinda like a second chance at enjoying what I ate


ps: I don't consider this a bad habit or wrong, but since I grew up with a Frigidaire at home, a refrigerator to me will always be a frigidaire

[Punk.of.Ages]

I chew on the inside of my cheek a lot.

I fidget constantly. Some part of me is always shaking.

That's about it...

[MiSo]

-i can't sit/stand still. i'm always shaking my leg or something.
-i'm a nail biter.
-i have horrible sleeping habits. i can never go to bed on time.

[snowy]

I drink a LOT of Diet Pepsi. Too much. I used to be okay with drinking any diet soda, but since Diet Pepsi is what's always on sale here, I got into the habit of buying it, and now I don't like Diet Coke nearly as much.

Oh well.

[percy]

Chocolate - dark chocolate ,....especially truffles with chocolate caramel insides.

Things on sale. If it says 50% off, and I could use/wear it one day,..I'll buy it even if I don't use /wear it

[Charlatan]

Procrastination and nail biting...

I don't know if I will ever be able to stop either of these habits.

[Xerxys]

-I consume far too much sugar products. Be it juice, soda, candy - (Note to females, if you have a purse, carry candy)
-I eat too much. (No seriously, I am fat and disgusting, on the inside)

[CinnamonGirl]

I pop my knuckles. I fidget when I'm nervous. I smoke way too much. I bite my nails. I chew on my bottom lip, especially when I'm nervous and/or thinking too much. I run my car on empty, even though I know that's bad, because experience tells me how far I can make it.

[wooÐs]

Ooh I just thought of one... *sigh*

I hunch over a lot instead of keeping my shoulders back and open. I also catch myself with my head high like some snob. It's not flattering in the least. I picked both of these up from being uncomfortably tall when growing up. Girls aren't supposed to be taller than the boys. So I started hunching over to feel smaller. Yet started holding my head high from people telling me to do so because I'm beautiful tall or some shit. So now it's just all a fucked up mess. But really, it sucks when you're out doing something, feeling normal and all and then you catch yourself in a mirror or something and realize you look like a doof. So then you have to adjust posture....................w/e..................I could go on and on. It's just something I need to correct lol.

[dlish]

i eat too much

the first to eat, and the last to leave

[Leto]

I eat too fast. Usually clearing off the table while my wife is still eating (she eats too slowly). When I slow down, I tend to doze off because I am trying to listen to what she is taking about. But it's like being in a meeting at work.

This is one of my SO's bad habits! He wolfs his food down so fast I'm only halfway through my meal by the time he finishes. I've learned not to try and keep up with him; how fast he eats is unhealthy.

[Leto]

It may be verisimilitude... You eat slowly, he eats fast. between the two of you, the effect is exagerated. How could it be unhealthy? I've tried to slow down, but it's excruciating.


By the way, I watched the Amazing Race last night, and one of the tasks was for the contestants to play in a Japanese game show, the Wheel of Sushi, where they had to eat a handroll stuffed with wasabi within 2 minutes in order to continue on.

I could do this in a heartbeat, but watching those contestants nibble their way through a handroll drove me up the wall. Why they couldn't just wolf it down, instead of slooooowwwly and painfully eating that sucker. A couple of them had to do it over because they were still 'nibbling' when the 2 mins expired..

[Cervantes]

I grit my teeth when I'm sleeping... stupid tension makes me wake up with a headache almost every morning and it takes forever to massage away..

[MSD]

I have eaten 8 meals in the past 3 days, and 6 of them included bacon. I had beer with most of them. Keeping drinking to the weekends isn't working for me anymore, I'm still letting it get the better of me and getting really drunk when I don't plan to.

I will not drink until dinner on October 4th, and after that I will not drink a drop of alcohol for at least 60 days. If, between October 4th and December 3rd, I drink alcohol, I will ban myself from TFP until 2010.

I am a devout carnivore, and I made fun of my brother when he did this, so I'll admit I'm a hypocrite when I say: try being a vegetarian for a month. you will eat better and you will feel better. Not even poultry and fish. You'll start to appreciate the green stuff.

I do all of these except smoking. Cracking knuckles isn't as bad as our parents told us it was.

Tall girls, stand up straight! Be proud to be tall. If you don't, I'm going to sneak up behind you, grab you under your arms, lift you up, and hold you there until your feet touch the ground again. Stop depriving us tall guys of beautiful, tall women by hiding behind bad posture.

I had the same problem (without realising) until I was given a dental splint by my dentist.



It's moved my bite point, and has stopped me grinding my teeth.

I've been with a tall, big boy dude (6'5") for a little over a year now - off and on but that's besides the point. Some guys can't date fat chicks. I've now vowed that I can't ever, EVER date someone under 6'2". Otherwise, I feel freakishly disproportionate. It really is great to wear heels and still be shorter than him.

Cool.

Yours,

I used to have one of those as well, worked wonders for at about 2 weeks until it cracked and I nearly chocked on the pieces (not a fun way to wake up in the middle of the night btw ).. Haven't dared get another one after that since it cost a fortune to make..

[Poppinjay]

I fidget with things. I dismantle paper cups during meetings. I play with bottle caps while surfing the net. Forget it if there's a stick and a something with a hole, it becomes a helicopter.

Best of all, whenever I go to a card store, I have to listen to absolutely every Hoops and Yoyo card or figure.

[streak_56]

I'm sarcastic way too much
I'm way too intense with everything
I always have to win

[mixedmedia]

procrastination.
sitting with a leg tucked under me...now that I have low blood pressure it's even more of a problem
sleeping on my stomach
occasional smoking
i like to have at least one drink every night, often more

[LordEden]

I eat way to much fast food/unhealthy food.
I inhale cigars when I smoke them.
I drink nightly.
My car is always a mess from point number one.

[DaniGirl]

I procrastinate all the time
I over eat when I am stressed
I am always stressed
I like to drink at night when I am alone
I cant fall asleep, I cant stop thinking about EVERYTHING
and much more but I don't want to keep thinking about it.

[wooÐs]

Always do this. Home on computer, restaurants, work - doesn't matter. Always have one leg up under me. There's just no other comfortable way to sit unless you're laying down lol.

[GreyWolf]

Too opinionated.
Procrastination.
Does dirty old man count as a bad habit?

[wooÐs]

Here's a new one -

My leg, or both my legs, hop up and down when I'm sitting stationary. Nervous energy or something. But I can't make myself stop. It's like an itch that you have to scratch. I went to dinner with my parents last night and my Mother was constantly hitting my leg and telling me to stop. It was like I was 6 again. Anyone else do this?

[lostgirl]

Restless Leg Syndrome?

[Craven Morehead]

Too much time on the internet.
Procrastination.

[Pearl Trade]

I swear way too fucking much.
Nail biting.
Over thinking/analyzing
Too much sugar (soda).
Judging others.
Not caring.
Trying to justify bad actions/thoughts.

I wiggle my feet constantly. I don't get shit from my mom about it, though, because I get it from her side of the family. Seriously--you can go to a family reunion on this side of the family, and all of the ladies will be sitting the same way, wiggling the same foot. It's very, very weird!

I also rub my hands together a lot, as if I'm trying to get warm or anticipating something. Neither, really...it's just a nervous habit by now.

[Redlemon]

Woods: Did you want to be at dinner with your parents, or were you thinking/wishing about being somewhere else? While RLS does remain a possibility, I also suspect that this leg jiggling can be a way to help to release the desire for your legs to bring you somewhere else other than where you are at the time.

[Dudkin]

I used to chew my tongue and to sleep with my legs up on the wall.

[little_tippler]

I procrastinate, and it gets worse when I'm unhappy, so it becomes a vicious cycle
I swear too much in certain situations and with certain people
Sometimes when I'm unhappy I take it out on other people by being a little too cynical or harsh
I like chocolate too much
I crack my ankles and knees several times a day (it feels great but is probably not good for me)
I sit with bad posture a lot without noticing it
I over-think just about everything
I trust people more than I should

Wow. I could have written that myself. It's kind of spooky.

[Poppinjay]

I am a terrible person with malice for most people.
I shirk work too often and think I'll make it up later.
I have very undesireable attitudes towards people who do not share my worldview.
Cheese and eggs, why can't I quit you?

Hell yeah I wanted to be at dinner lol. It was a killer seafood place that's been on The Food Network several times and they serve massive portions. It was fantastic w00t!

I'm fairly certain it's just nervous energy. And lg - that page mentioned tranquilizers to help. I do have a script for xanax but try to avoid taking it. Since the leg thing started, I would pop one and later, still found the legs a' hoppin.

I'm somewhat unemployed atm. I have nothing to do with my spare time. And I get very anxious. I'm taking the xanax more often because of this instead of doing something like walking - it's been too cold!

RLS, I thought, mainly happened in sleep mode too. I sleep ok.

Thanks you's two.

That is way weird - the foot thing I mean lol.
