Re: try to kick that HABIT
 

Shani,

I have all of the same bad habits that you do except for smoking, I kicked that one a long time ago. The only other bad habit I have is talkign about people that seem out of place to me, i.e. the man who still thinks it 1970.

I think black people have a bad habit of talking about each other period! ;)

Mine are:

1. Being afraid of committment
2. Always having to be in control
3. Not having any patience
4. Laziness...I'm addicted to sleep!
5. Not making time for my friends and family!

procrastination
french fries
cynicism
I don''t always give the brothas a fair chance- my cynicism kicking in

hhhmmmm
 

being too hardline and inflexible
eating junk food (ice cream, chocolate, cookies)
picking at my skin

Bad Habits
 

My bad habits are these:

1. Junk food: I love candy, ice cream (can we say Ben and Jerry's?), cookies (esp. chocolate cream Oreos), potato chips, fast food. I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding in February 2003 and my doctor put me on a 1200 cal. diet and it's HARD!! Mickey D and I are seeing other people, Ben and Jerry keep calling me with 2 for $5 specials at the grocery store, potato chips now cause cancer so I've heard, and the candy in the vending machines on campus are nasty, but the Oreos.... Ask me how many times my fiance and I have fought over cookies this week :)

2. Thinking too much: I need to stop trying to make sense out of the cartoons. Sometimes I need to turn my brain on low function :)

smoking Black & Milds. I'm trying to kick this habit. It's hard though:(

Well
 

1. Biting my nails *when i'm nervous*
2. Not saying no to people.
3. Lying (sometimes):p
4.Being Naivee
5.PROCRASTINATION:mad:
6. I'm to laid back and 2 Nonchalunt(sp)

PROCRASTINATION!!!!!!!

I am the Queen of waiting until the last minute.

1. Procrastination- I always wait until the very last minute for everything

2. Not following through on what I say I am going to do

3. Eating too much pasta and rice (I love Carbs)

4. Only drinking Pop or Soda depending on where you ae from!

5. Not drinking water or milk

6. Being a cry baby

And the list goes on and on!!!!

TTT
Ok. It 2 1/2 years later and I still need to break these habits!

1. I don't drink enough water....its sooo disgusting!
2. I lack patience at times.
3. Picking at my cuticles

1. Picking my lips
2. Playing with my eyelashes
3. Pointing at people in public (my mom hates when I do that)
4. Making wierd/mean faces at people without knowing it

Well I kicked one big habit coming up on 8 years ago...my Marlboro lights habit

I am a nail biter and the only thing that stopped that is getting my nails done...acrylic tips

Other bad habits I would like to get rid of:
Flying off the handle (shooting first and asking questions later)
Procrastination
starting something and not finishing it
not drinking enough water (or any fluid for that matter)
emotional eating
holding grudges, even when people SO deserve it

2Tuff,

I do the SAME thing. Especially if I'm out at the club or something. My friends sit back and laugh at the faces that I make.

1. Not saying what I have to say and being done with it. Especially if you don't react to me the way I think you should. (I am sure my husband would appreciate this!)

2. Giving it to God for real, and not going back and editing it! He does not need my assistance.

3. Stop allowing my son to eat so many refined foods, I think he may turn into a Pop Tart.

Gurl! I get tired of my friends constantly telling me to fix my face. I'm sitting there like...what are you talking about?!?! Apparently I have always done this (according to my mom..who does it too) so I got that honest:p

I also have this to work on. It's hard because I never really know when I am doing it.

Also on the let's quit list ......
procrastination
being late
being a poor manager of time
not making time for myself
trying to do and be involved in everything
being so easily stressed out
not going to bed at a decent hour

I'm guilty of this too. If you want to know what I think or how I feel, the look on my face will let you know.

I also need to quit:
-procratinating
-taking on too much
-being so sensitive

I make those faces too!! lol

I need to stop:
procrastinating
letting my laundry pile up
the poor management of my time
driving fast
not washing my car
worrying about what other people think of me

wonderful1908 hit the nail on the head with this:
2. Giving it to God for real, and not going back and editing it! He does not need my assistance.
whoo, i am an editor and need to quit it!

and lastly, smoking Apple Black & Milds, a habit I acquired in college to relieve stress and picked up again b/c traffic stresses me out..

1. Stop caring so much about what people may think or may say
2. Stop eating sweets all the time--->I am addicted to sugar:(
3. Stop drinking soda----->I love Pepsi
4. Stop being so lazy
5. Stop being afraid to do things by myslef----->I went to the gym by myself today!!!! I am slowly but surely improving.
6. Stop being such a procrastinator
7. Stop cursing completely----->an occasional bad word will slip out
8. Stop having sex with my boyfriend.----->this is going to be very tough but he supports and understands.:D
9. Stop worrying about everything----->leave it up to God.
10. Stop picking and chewing on my lips----> it looks gross when I do it

I hate when I do this..but I just can't stop myself....especially in the winter time:(

Exactly!! I hardly ever pick my lips in the spring and summer. But I also noticed certain chap sticks make me pick my lips. Blistex Daily Conditioning Treatment makes me pick my lips when I put too much on. But when my boyfriend used it he also began to bite his lips. I don't know what the deal is with Blistex.:D
