What is something you do/eat/drink that you know is bad for you but can't stop?

[MoggyMittens23]

Mine is Coke Zero. I just fucking love it. Only one a day, rarely 2. I have tried to quite by not having any in the house but then I just end up at the corner shop and paying even more for it!

Alcohol! I’ve cut down to once a week (if that) but I would love to be one of those disciplined glowy people who are teetotal.

@orangeclubsarebest try Ferrograd C if you can get it. I had low iron and was eating 2 trays of ice a night and I stopped wanting ice a few weeks into the tablets. Not soon enough to avoid a crown on a cracked tooth though 😔

Diet coke is probably my vice.

I don't know if this counts but I have a secret packet of cigarettes in the garage. I keep them out there with a shower cap, an enormous cardigan and some rubber gloves. I "quit" smoking when I was TTC my first child (almost 12 years ago now) but... for example, when my builders found a leak last week, I had to go and tidy the garage after bedtime.

Ooooh where do I start... I have found my way around the usual cheese-nut-sweets suspects, I religiously follow the "serving size" guidance - I literally whip out my tiny scales and measure out 25gr of crisps. But then there is coffee. Black, no milk no sugar, but by the bucketload.... Can't stop.

Pepsi Max. I think they put crack in it, as diet coke doesn't hit the same.

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

See, this used to be me too. Smoking in the shed in a big coat so that DH/DDs wouldn't smell it.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I switched to vaping and now can't stand cigarettes which is good. But vaping is more dangerous in a way as there's no smell left on you so it's easier and I therefore vape more than I used to smoke! It's ridiculous and makes me feel like a teenager.

I’m loving reading these, it’s nice to know I’m not alone!!

although @Dedodee slightly concerned! That sounds painful!!!

I have a hiatus hernia and GERD but I just power through!! 😂

@MrMucker no offence but 😷

Energy drinks

Kids sweets - especially Tangfastics. I don't really like biscuits or cake though so that's how I justify it! The problem is that once the packet is open I cannot stop, even if I want to. It's like I have to eat them all at once. DH finds it embarrassing that if we go to the theatre/cinema that's my treat of choice!

@MrMucker is it Heinz though?

Wine and Co op Salt and Vinegar or Ready Salted crisps.
Diet Coke.

I've limited wine to the weekend, but I love it and when the sun is out, I immediately want a glass. The crisps go perfectly with it.

Same. It brings me joy.

Chocolate or ice cream at bedtime.

Sabra hummus extra and Jordan’s country crisp (the one with nuts). Both only bought occasionally as I can easily demolish a 350g tub of the hummus in one go or eat three big bowls of the cereal in a row 😳

Pain au raisin. I kinda wish my local Sainsbury’s didn’t sell them, but of course, self control etc.

Red wine in the winter
White wine in the summer
GnT on a summery evening
Need to stop in the week and keep it a weekend treat.

That Biscotti spread that comes in a jar. I have no idea why I even like it, I'm not THAT big on the biscuits themselves, but the spread stuff is worse than crack. I now refuse ever to buy it, because if I get a jar in thinking I might make a cheesecake or something for the weekend, I find myself at three in the morning in the kitchen in the dark eating it off a spoon.

Haribo Balla bites sweets, the mixed ones, not too fussed on the strawberry ones. Only seen them in Poundland or B&M and I'm addicted.

Brought 4 bags the other day, to last me a while! one bag left had a bag a day.

Also a sucker for Pringles especially salt & vinegar or Smokey Bacon, luckily too expensive at minute so can resist. Also kettle crisps, especially the blue bag, again too expensive at £2.50 a bag, just to be always on offer at a £1.00.

Those "family size" Aero bars. One a day at least. I'm breastfeeding, so I need the extra calories 😋

Cheese. I have to limit the amount I buy as if I know it's in the fridge, I will eat it at any given opportunity (and working from home, that's a lot)!

Pepsi Max
i am four years alcohol free but I can’t kick my Pepsi Max habit.

I’m with you re: Coke Zero. I blame doing slimming world about 10 years ago. I was so depressed at the shit food I had to eat on it that I derived joy from diet fizzy drinks. Before that I only ever drank water but now I drink a lot of Coke Zero. Chocolate too - not high quality stuff, big bars of Dairy Milk even though it tastes rubbish compared to its former self. I have other guilty pleasures but Coke Zero and milk chocolate are the ones I feel compelled to have every single day. I don’t smoke, take drugs, rarely drink alcohol and don’t drink tea or coffee so I try to convince myself that it’s ok…
