I need to stop biting my nails. I recently started this and stopped getting them done.

I want to stop buying impulsively. I purchased a book out of boredom and thought it would help with my career. Unfortunately, I felt guilty for buying it days later. I couldn't return it because of the shape it was in.

I need to  stop second guessing  myself.

Yes, onychophagia is a bad habit. I wish to stop obsessing altogether.

Eating. I'm supposed to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. I get tired of eating. When hubby is around, I'm fine  but when he's helping one of his friends and gone all day, I seem to eat all day. I'm trying to lose 15 lb. but instead, i gained 10!! I had lost 7 lb and was happy about it but the next doctor appointment, I gained 10. That made me very unhappy.

Another part of the problem is hubby's diet. Since he need to keep his blood at a certain thinnes and some foods give him gout, it's a limited deal. I like a lot of salads, he can't have them all the time. I like to make saurkraut with hot dogs. He can't eat it (cabbage). He can't have spinach and most green foods. He can't have baked beans or bean soup because of getting gout,  I always say I can eat what he can't and he can eat what I can't because I had to give of potatoes, pizza, and pasta for months because my numbers would be sky high.

They have stuff you can put on your hands to stop that. It tastes bad. You can get it for kids to get them to stop sucking their thumb. A co-worker says he daughter who is like a junior in high school still sucks her thumb. smh

That’s probably the worst habit anyone can have!

I have a habit of eating some candy or cookies at home after any meal I eat. I have quit buying them as of last week. It is just like when I quit smoking 15 years ago. I am craving them badly and praying I do not give in. I want to lose some weight and without the snacking I think I can do it.

I really wish I could break my perfectionist streak that sometimes seems to rule my life. I keep telling myself no one is perfect, but it isn't really helping.

I really need to stop overthinking things. That's a really bad habit because it leads to inaction, which means nothing ever gets done!

That sounds just like my anxiety from thinking too much out of having a hard time with enhancing my reasoning skills sounds.

I am overly critical of myself and it is something I need to stop. I am hard on myself sometimes.
