Do you have any bad habits?

[BabyNicole]

I started biting my nails...again. I bite the inside of my mouth. I crack my neck. And I'm ADDICTED to Blistex!!! I'm sure there are other things, but I can't think of them right now. What about you? Tell me I'm not the only stressed out insane person on here!

Oh my gosh! I am addicted to chapstick. Well, actually I've been trying to wean myself off chapstick by using Vasaline. But it hasn't worked. So I think I am just HAVE to have something on my lips at all times, no matter what it is. It can be chapstick, Vasaline, lipstick, lip gloss, ANYTHING, but I have to have SOMETHING!

I also bite the inside of my lip. Ugh...my dentist said I had better stop bc it can cause cancer.

I am also a TERRIBLE procrastinator. It is bad and it is something that I really need to work on before I start school again.

It really can cause cancer?!?! My mom tells me that, and I thought she was busting my chops!

I remember you telling me you were addicted to chapstix! I can't use that. It's too waxy! I have to have Blistex (medicated, tube kind) or else I have to go and buy it! I can last a little while with lip gloss or something if I'm desperate, but I prefer my trusty Blistex. How long have you been addicted to it? I've been using Blistex since about junior or senior year of high school!!! I'm almost 30 now!!

Well, not the brand Chapstick...I'm addicted to Burt's Beeswax. I've been addicted since sometime in high school when I had to use Accutane for my acne...one of the side effects is that it REALLY dries you lips out, so I started using Burt's Beeswax and have been using it ever since!

And yes, biting the inside of your lip can cause cancer. Repeated trauma to any part of your body will cause cancer. That is how you get skin cancer & lung cancer...repeated trauma from the sun or from smoking.

I honestly just have to make a conscious effort not to do it! Whenever I find myself doing it, I chew gum or something. It's hard, though. But it is just a nervous habit and I need to find something to replace it. You can do it, too!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...guilty of biting the inside of my lip as well. Oh, and I recently started biting my nails again....probably stress from school. AND I'm also a TERRIBLE procrastinator... which I'm really regretting now that I have 2 projects due next week I'm sure I have other bad habits, but I'll add them later when i remember them

[blowry]

HMMMMM let's see....I smoke crack, do heroin...LOL just kidding!! I do smoke cigarettes (very bad habit,...going to quit as soon as I get a job) I am a procrastinator, I really try to finish things that I start but, have a hard time with that...I'm sure there's more...just can't think right now..it's getting late here.

Let's see..bad habits.. This will make me take a hard look at myself...Thanks!! LOLOL

1. My smoking (mostly on the computer or when the guys go for a weekend of camping with Scouts),

2. Picking at my husband. It's become a habit. He knows what I expect, just do it...LOL

3. Too many addicting TV shows

4. Chocolate

5. Putting things off during the day and scrambling to get it done after the afternoon bus route.

6. This is gross, but I have a hard time leaving scabs alone. My Mom always did this too. I need to keep band aids or something on them. It's like it's an imperfection and I have to get it off only it makes it worse and lasts longer.

I think that's it for now, although I know there has to be more..LOL

I have some bad habits too.

I bite the inside of my cheek, kinda' like lip biting. When I catch myself doing it I'll get some gum out and chew it. My youngest daughter is also developing this habit, but she's trying to stop. I hadn't heard that it can cause cancer.

I also spend too much time on the computer (sorry guys). I have a hard time moving away and getting other things done and I keep returning to my computer through the day. Whenever I have a free minute I seem to be drawn back to it. I keep thinking that I'm going to set a timer and just allow myself so much time on here, but I haven't started it yet.

I don't exercise either. And I can give you a jillion reasons why I don't, but I know that I should.

I'm sure that there's other bad habits but that's all I can think of for now!!

[Ponyup]

I'm a picker, I pick scabs, hang nails, my hubby's zits(he hates this),my nailpolish. You name it I pick it.

I have really dry lips & when I'm nervous I chew the dead skin off (i guess this is lip chewing)

I used to smoke & chew my nails, but I quit

I never finish what I start as far as I hobbies. I bought a bunch of books to start playing the piano again & I haven't played. I also have a really nice guitar & a book to learn, havent' learned yet. I have 1/2 finished x-stitch project. You get the idea.

Well, I'm just stupid I just sat here and listed all my bad habits and then went back to the forum without submitting it! Now I have to start over and I don't think I can remember them all!

I smoke

I'm an emotional eater. If I feel emotion, I eat

I let things build up inside me until I make myself sick. I have an ulcer because of this and if I lose my temper I end up with a migraine.

Durn, I can't remember the rest!
