What is something you do even though you know it isn’t good for you?

[Cablestitches]

Sunbathing/not avoiding the sun. I’ve been an outdoors/beach person my whole life. I love nothing more than a hot sunny day outside, swimming, hiking, day at the beach. I don’t want to cover up and hide away from the sun. I don’t want a big hat and sitting in the shade.

I know I have and will continue to age quicker. I know the risk of skin cancer is higher. But on this one I don’t care, the quality of my life is more important to me.

So what are yours?

Drinking. I know it's literal poison. I've cut down a lot. But I still love a glass of red by the fire or some bubbles in the sun.

Eating sugar.

Having had three procedures during the last year, for potential skin cancers, I won’t ever sunbathe and any exposed skin will be slathered in factor 50.

Sugar & can’t give up crisps.

I only really drink water though so hoping that tips the balance!

Eat too much!

Crisps.

Redbull

Snacking on unhealthy food. I eat really healthy meals cooked from scratch and enjoy healthy meals but I also love crisps, cake and nuts! 😅

Like you, sunbathing. It’s been beautiful all day and my pastey skins needs some rays. I love closing my eyes and feeling my face getting hot.

Drink coke zero 😩

God loads. Wine, sunbathing, sugar, cheese, butter, fried stuff, fatty foods generally, coffee

Engaging on the anti dog threads of MN.

@Cablestitches , I have two friends, one about 10 years older than me and the other about 20 years older than me. Both loved and still love the sun. They are happy! We each make our own decisions about

As for me, I'm a size 16, I still smoke, and I drink too much.

Oh I LOVED smoking but stopped. Still walk past a smoker and take a deep breath. If it wouldn't kill me I would start again tomorrow.

Waitrose chocolate chip cookies. The big ones in packets of 8. Oh my days, I can ruin any day of healthy eating with them.

Smoking/vaping. I quit smoking cigarettes and moved to vapes for three years then started again a few months ago. I still vape too. I will quit smoking again before the end of the year but honestly, I love it. A part of me thinks fuck it, just smoke guilt free. I don't drink, I'm active (despite having M.E), I eat healthy and the six people I knew that have died from lung cancer had never smoked in their life!

Ruminating on the past.

Going on VLCD then binge eating and drinking and beating myself up to rinse and repeat. Why am I like this 🙃

Sun / wine / sugar / cake. Why are all the lovely things bad?!

At least I don’t and have never smoked or done any drugs whatsoever

Eat loads of junk, chocolate, crisp, biscuits etc etc, far too many!

diet Coke I know it makes me feel like crap but I can’t stop it.

Wine and screen time

Nothing hits the spot like a glass of wine

Screentime - I always say I want to read , knit more but I end up on mumsnet and doom scrolling too much!!

I drink at least 5 cans of Coke Zero (must be Coke Zero!) every day.

Watching stupid very entertaining cop cams on FB videos until all hours when I should be asleep. Just one more, just one more. Addictive, and I shouldn't.

Don't eat enough.

Eat processed convenience foods. It's so much easier, I don't want to cook from scratch and I like the taste of them.
