Old habits die hard...
I'm just curious...
Do any of you have any habits that you'd LOVE to be able to break but just can't? Something you feel compelled to do and just won't stop? Even though you know you shouldn't do it?
Inquiring minds want to know.....

Er....eating chocolate, procrastinating, watching TV, committing to things that I'm too busy to do, telling my Mum that I 'might' do something which basically means I'm then committed to doing it......oh I could go on and on!

my snacking before bed time.
When I was younger, it was no big deal, the old metabolism could handle it. Now that I'm not as young as I USED to be, (that phrase still bothers me) it shows when I do it.
I'm proud of myself for cutting back, but in all honesty, I need to completely stop.
I also need to exercise more...........but that I can't manage to do much of either.
Sorry for getting off topic here at the end.

My first instinct was to say that breathing is a habit I'd like to break but I don't do that very well so I guess I'm well on my way to that one.
I guess the one that really sticks out in my mind is paying bills. I'm terrible at it. I get a bill and I'll write the check for it right away but I won't mail the damn thing until it's just about due, or sometimes even later.
Hmmmm, I notice you pose the question but don't offer up any answer of your own osuche?

I have an oral fixation. I chew my lips, the insides of my cheeks, my cuticles (not my nails, or at least not much), my pens, everything I can get into my mouth. I've never ever tried smoking because I know my mouth would love it too much.

OMGGGGGGGGGGG! Me too hun! Though I do smoke and trust me when I say that you should never do it...it is an addiction to peeps like us (oral fixators) PERSONIFIED!
I was just sitting here biting the skin inside my lips and thinking, "I remember there was a short time when I stopped this".
I gotta wonder...what propels us to do it and why did I stop once and can't stop now????? I mean, I stopped for a good year or so once. How'd I do that?
Ut Oh...geezzzzzzz! Who's got the cure?

Bedtime snacking is maybe my worst ... plus, I guess, I'll chew on pencils or a finger or whatever.
