I keep eating the soft squishy skin on the inside of my mouth. It starts with a tiny little piece of skin I can feel sticking out for whatever reason. Then I have to nibble it to even it out. But I can't stop because I just made it worse. Now there's a layer of skin missing all on the inside of my cheeks and I can't eat anything without it stinging. I really wish I could stop but it's easier said than done, it's worse than biting nails!
I should probably add that I used to be a nail biter and managed to quit that!
Yeah sounds bad. Hope you can break it soon.
It's not good haha. Thank you!
I was racking my brain for useful tips but you have me stumped there.
Still can't give up the Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi... 😞 Everyone says No Sugar or Caffeine what is the point the Addiction to it? My response is you have to ask PepsiCo what Addictive Chemicals they are putting in that I can't break the habit worse than Alcohol and Drugs and Sex and Gambling all COMBINED!!! I want to Quit...
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Once you go a few days without a soda you'll feel fine. Even try to drink a soda and can't. its just a gross syrupy mess
I tend to do everything to the extremities whether it's physical training during motivated seasons or working during crunch season or partying. A balanced lifestyle is elusive to me.
Some of my strongest points come from this tendency. But so do some of my weakest. I'm a go big or go home type. But I do envy those who balance things out better. That seems a lot more peaceful.
Yeah I tend to overdo as well.
It's a tough one. I tend to procrastinate too since taking things to the extremities really takes a lot out of me. I've managed to make things work somehow in spite of it like I was one of those students who could kind of slack off and then study like a lunatic a couple of weeks before exams and ace them. But it wasn't so good for retaining everything long-term to study like that, and certainly a whole lot more exhausting than it needed to be.
Yep again I was kinda the same lol
I had the smoking habit some years back. I started very late in life in the late 20s being around a chainsmoking colleague and got so tired of waiting on his smoke breaks that I one day asked to join him and asked for a cig. Then I noticed this really relaxing feeling coming over me even during the most stressful day at work, and I was instantly hooked.
I broke the habit some years ago, but that was probably the hardest one I've ever broken and I failed several times, ceasing for days only to find myself pacing around frantically and not being able to do any work. The third time was the charm -- I did it over a vacation period and kept a log of how many times I had gone tobacco-free as both a motivator and reminder to keep going.
Surprisingly I leaned down afterward, but I think my coffee intake has more than doubled ever since. I still need some sort of stimulant! :-D
🤔something to think about. Yeah I do the coffee thing too, but mostly in the morning. I always need that first cup and cig together. So what, give the coffee up too? Yikes also tend to need smoke if I drink, so give up that, too. I don't know that's a lot stacked against me lol even though all that can trigger menopausal hot flashes, damn either way I feel screwed🤷♀️ lmao
I can't quit the coffee one. It's like I needed at least one! :-D But I switched it to black, no cream, no sugar (used to put so much sugar especially). I don't think it's too bad in those cases, although sometimes I drink like 8 cups of black coffee in one day -- probably a bit too much.
Same. I use very little sugar. Can't drink it black tho
Didn't think I had any bad habits but just been told (by my adorable daughter & nephew) I give to much (like money/gifts for my loved ones). Really? Is that a bad thing? Gotta more than enough so why not
Aww that's cute your daughter told you that. Giving isn't bad if you can afford to and like doing so. As long as the people " receiving" are deserving/ appreciative of it.
My grandma says the same thing
Aww that's so awesome of you.
Again much respect!

my bad habit that i would like to break is never going to sleep at a set time. i just can't seem to do it. and do you like sunflower seeds? keep a little bowl of those all over the place and when you feel the urge for a cigarette - take a handful and chew them. and then have the cigarette afterwards. but just start forcing yourself to try sunflower seeds or something that you actually have to take time to de-shell and/or spit the shells out and chew each one and you might be able to start re-wiring your thinking for stress. and i only say sunflower seeds because i love them! but any kind of little snack thing like that - something all natural and no sugar or fat or any of that. and not nuts! think seeds (flax, sesame, etc.)!
Thanks for the advice 👍😊
Coming on GAG so much, it's an addiction!
Like I am at work sneaking on to GAG right now when I should be working.
I work for my dad and I'm afraid if he catches me I might get a spanking!
... OK, I'm just kidding... about the spanking part I mean... you just never know what some people are going to think on here... lol
Yeah... giirl... you know better than to put that pic out there.. 😅you probably got least 20 guys hearing some girl saying"yes daddy, I've been a bad girl , yes daddy, spank me, oh yes daaaddy 🤣🤣😂😂
Exactly! ... that's why the "disclaimer" ... lol
Uhh that kinda an oxymoron tho.. and too late lmao🤣😂love your humor❤
You know a Moderator deleted my Marilyn Monroe picture that I put on your other post?
I got one of those messages that they are trying to keep the "standards high", but I mean didn't Marilyn Monroe have high standards... Like she was so picky and would only do guys of the stature of a president or movie star... right? ... lol
... and besides, that picture was a famous work of art! :)
But they don't remove people calling people slut, cunt, or bitch, or go kill yourself... that's some bullshit right there!
I want to stop picking at my skin. I used to sometimes be in the mirror for 4,5,6 hours at a time sometimes even longer. I have nearly totally stopped and life is different! I have a ton more time now lol!!
And probably healthier skin as well
Yes it is actually healing up alright. Some scars but mainly just noticeable to me :)
Have you tried lavender oil? Or even sometimes aloe vera? Better straight from plant but lotion works too. And some scars can lesson, go away over time. But glad for your success❤
Yes I’ve been putting jojoba oil with a drop of essential oil on my face every night. I have lavender, carrot, frankincense, etc. I do spf lotion during the day and I have some scar reversal creme that I mainly use between my eyebrows for my worry line lol!! Thank you!!
Getting over things.
I have a really hard time getting over bad experiences and I just think about them a lot and get annoyed over and over again over them.
Well hopefully it gets easier to let go of things. Better to try Lindsey it go and move on. I so know that's not always easy to do. But best of luck with it!
Thanks. I think I feel better when I get back a people TBH.
I don't know if I would call it a habit, but I wish I had a better filter between my brain and mouth. Sometimes people are offended or get their feelings hurt because I'm completely honest about what I think.
Yeah I can be brutally honest. Some people don't like that🤷♀️
pomping my zits. and salt is my kryptonite. also, i need to relax and stop stressing about everything.
Lmao I got what you meant autocorrect or typos happen lol
My phone autocorrected just to Judy dkw so people are always "who's Judy " 😂😂
I thought smoking caused gaining weight... Huh...
I'd like to actually go to sleep at a reasonable hour for once. I cannot for the life of me just go to sleep when I need to, I'm always up to like 2 or 4 in the morning, even if I have to be somewhere at 8 or so in said morning. And then when I get back home? Right back to sleep, no matter what time it is.
Really messed up sleep schedule is what I'm getting at. I blame it on my gaming.
@DianaWest I used to do that. Then I graduated lol.
Overthinking!!
Also, I indulge in (sugar free) ice cream!
Hey, if it's sugar free what's the harm😇😁
Comfort eating or eating when i'm simply bored, I know i'm not really hungry but i'll still do it.
Yeah think a lot of us do that or for me when I'm trying not to smoke so much, but then I snack more🙄
Emotional eating (especially when I'm stressed or bored)
I been doing that lately too🙄
It sucks. I have to force myself to move around or do something so I don't eat instead!
Me too as just got weighed at doctors office🙄and even though said my BMI was good, I know it's not where I was just a few months ago 🙄so I hear you sister lol
I don't have any self destructive bad habits that are potentially dangerous to my health.
However, yes I do have other not so good habits likes playing too many games on PC and iPhone, watching too many movies Hollywood and Bollywood etc.
Oversleeping. I have meds that make me super tired in the morning. I wish I could wake up early and get the day started. I could do so much more. And also, late to work like every day because of it. I seem to get a pass, but I don’t like it either.
I've pretty much broken my one and only bad habit: Masturbating. I didn't break it alone! My Girlfriend was great help!
I just bet she was😉lol
Overthinking, I overthink waaaaay to much. Its not healthy but if I don't overthink then I panic.
omg same
It's a curse I swear
Procrastinating and think bad about others constantly
Why do you think bad of others?
I'd assume it's either jealousy or because im very cynical. I try to stop but sometimes I find myself just doing it.
At least you recognize and do try to work on it, so that's something👍
Eating too many Carbs wish i could eliminate or possibly get into a exercise regimen
Start small exercising. Or if you like walking , start with walks
Thank you , I agree with you :)
Getting stressed, anxious, overthinking!
And lately smoking too 😅🤷🏻♂️
I'm sure you're working on that tho, right🤔😊
But did you pinky promise
Staying in touch with my ex boyfriend. Need to stop it. It was a toxic relationship..
Yeah I know that's a very hard one but if it's toxic. That kinda relationship isn't worth it
masterbating to porn bad habit need a woman to stop me
Or help you😂
try patches. they worked for me. went on them for 3 times as long as you are meant to but it has almost been 5 years now. good luck bbb
Thank you. Something to consider🤔😊
I tried the gum and the inhalers etc. the good thing about patches is that once you put on then because of the slow release of nicotine you don't physically crave so if you keep busy with your hands (breaking the smoking action) then it really will surprise you.
the stress release is just a crux that smokers use cos that way if something bad happens when yo have given up you give yourself an excuse to smoke again. you will realise once you have quit and make it through a first real sad time that it's not a stress relever. also how much your clothes must have smelled. I loved smoking, I enjoyed it, I do miss it and as soon as I am told I have a week to live then I can go a smoke some marlboro reds again. mmm. but you do gain a freedom in yourself because you no longer have to consider if you have enough fags on you etc. as for the eating more, you may do, some people eat less but putting on a few pounds makes you no different a person in any way.
Sorry - nothing worse than a reformed smoker!!
Lol you're good appreciate the advice 😊
Biting my nails, I've tried but they keep cracking at the top and I can't help but bit the little spikey bits off
Smoking still qualifies for that. Though I am prolonging it on purpose
Yeah it's hard to quit
It's not as hard as it is fun. Plus they'l ban it pretty much everywhere by June I think, so figured I'd tell my grandkids about its last days one day
watching porn... but I like it so I don't know if I really want to quit
Lol well as long as it ain't hurting anyone go for it😊
right... hasn't been a serious issue so far. My family and friends haven't disowned me yet lol
Masturbation.. please y'all don't come for my head.. and don't judge me.. lol
Who cares if people do. Be you, do you, and fuck what anyone says or thinks
Lol. thanks. haven't gotten any silly replies yet though. but I'm still waiting.
Careful what you say on here, tho or you'll have guys PM'ing you
same here ughhhhh lol
Eating fast food. I eat at least 3 times a week. Not to mention damage to my pocket.
Do you like to cook? I know some people are very busy and sometimes don't want tti take the time after working all day. I used to cook a few meals on the weekend, so I would have meals for the week without having to cook or deal with bunch of dishes after working all day. Convenient and much cheaper.
Or if you throw a roast in a crockpot, set on low 8-10 hours, it cooks while you're gone and you come home to a yummy meal. 😊
Then don't use onions lol
Procrastinating, until it is the day before the test
Everything's fun in moderation now when it becomes a habit then you need to do something about it
Drinking beer 15 years of it and it still tastes awesome. But its not awsome the next day🙁🙁🙁🙁😢😢😐.
I have always liked girls that are slender build and when I see one I look but that's all, but would like to stop it now
Mine would have to be eating so many sweet's.
Falling in love so easily.
They are both bad for u.
God Bless
Drinkin. I'm basically the real life Mr. Lahey. I work a 40 hour schedule, only called off sick today. I am not the liquor.
For me, I think that's over thinking and being pessimistic. I only drink occasionally and I don't smoke either. I don't even party. 😅
I'm with you on all those 👍
If Trusting, is/ could be than Yes , I'd like to brake that Trusting bone that hidden in me!
Being trusting is not a bad thing..
I know, but its seems, it always leaves me on the short end of things!
That's sad. but I'm sure you gonna make it their loss not yours
I wish I could make it their loss , but seems I'm always the Bastard even though I'm in the Right... I'm always beaten ,... but , Never Broke!
Ohhh. so sorry.
Ahhhhhh, nothing to be sorry about, Sweetheart, ! I've accepted my fate, and it's ok! Two kinds of people in this world Givers & Takers... I come to realize a long time ago, that I'm a Giver, and the Takers are going to take from me and other givers!
I thank you, for Your concern , have a blessed day ! Dave
Awwww. You're so sweet. but you shouldn't give up on being a good guy. it comes in handy one day. I promise that.
Well a good guy is all I can be , such is my life ! I can only hope You're right, thank you so much ! Miss Samantha, Dave the theCobbler! 🎩❤
I have a habit of not getting out enough and hanging with friends/making new ones.
I wish to mad v cut down on my tobacco intake, I want to replace it with cannabis, it's 20 20 😒🙄
For me it is overeating and stress eating
I do the bored eating sometimes, but stressed I smoke too much and don't eat.
My anger which occurs rarely and being alone without anyone need
Masturbation, procrastination, Eating sugar/Bread. One of those
Well it sure as hell ain't gonna be to stop eating pussy
I'm super lazy and it takes a lot to boost myself.
I used to not be but find myself becoming more that way
Wearing clothes. I hate this bad habit. 😭
😂😂😂 thanks needed the chuckle lol
Bending too much. It worsens my sciatica
I know bout that, I used to get that because of my back
biting my fingernails
Do you do it from nerves?
yes, but it seems to happen at other times, even when I don't notice at first.
Only my sleeping habit bc I broke all my bad habit
That's great!
I eat way too much sugar
Procrastinating until the very last moment.
Sleeping a lot and eating too many dates!
Being too explicit and discussing spirituality topic too heavily.
Too much sugar :(
Sugar how? Like soda drinks? Sugary snacks?
Just cut it down slowly
Over-perfectionism.
Eating. I've given up everything else.
Biting my nails and procrastinating.
Bad punctuality
Yeah that's not good
Breathing😂😜
Lol well that's one habit I think you wanna keep doing
Only if you say so 😜
Lol ok🤷♀️but breathing isn't a habit it's a necessity of life 🤷♀️
If you think in a way its habbit only when the Dr. Slaps the butt of the baby it cry and learns to breathe👶
Lol if they didn't the baby wouldn't live
BEING FUCKING LAZY!!!
Picking at my cuticles
Cursing... a lot
