We are twins. I was going to say Diet Coke and then I saw your answer!

I can easily have 6 cans a day 🙈

SwedishEdith · 11/08/2024 11:11

Crisps. Can't resist crisps.

Vaping 😭. I know it’s really not good but if I didn’t I would go back to smoking. After the toughest 3 years of my life so far vaping being my only vice I think ive got of lightly

cheese
booze
sugar
salt

I do need to work on less, but never none

If I could get it down to one thing I would be ecstatic. I think chocolate would be the last thing to go!

GoldieFurEverywhere · 11/08/2024 11:14

Cheeeeeeeese. ALL the cheese.

Do you use a straw?

I have started using one recently but a lot of damage has already been done.

Stick with the straw going forward. Diet is apparently better but I go full fat full sugar.

Alcohol. I don't drink massive amounts but one or two drinks three nights a week. But I just love relaxing after work with a G&T or having a pint of cider in a beer garden on a sunny afternoon.

Chocolate.
Ohh but coffee. Yeah okay, coffee.
But then SUSHI.
And corn dogs.

Wait! Scrap all of the above! Listening to music in my earphones with the volume as loud as it will go. It gives my mood a boost and depression sucks.

Mumsnet. Bad for my blood pressure sometimes.

ShowOfHands · 11/08/2024 12:08

I couldn't give up biscuits. I only have a couple of a Friday night, but they're my vice I suppose. I don't eat any other refined sugar if I can help it, but a world without biscuits isn't a world I want to imagine.

I also have an early grey every morning which probably isn't too good for me, but I'm not stopping that either.

jollygreenpea · 11/08/2024 12:09

Chocolate

I eat far too much of it, I do go cold turkey with it sometimes, but not for long.
Is it three months to break a habit? I couldn't manage that though, sadly.

HamSad · 11/08/2024 12:11

Salt and fat.

HamSad · 11/08/2024 12:12

Oh, and sugar. And caffeine. Fairly basic vices.

gingercat02 · 11/08/2024 12:13

Red wine, all the cheese, cured meats, sunbathing.

Sushi is bad for you??!?!

Vaping and sour chewy sweets!
I need to stop vaping really but I enjoy it too much.

Crushed23 · 11/08/2024 12:30

Raves.
Kissing men in their early 20s (I’m 34).
Pain au raisin.
