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?

Sugarfree Red Bull every day. I love it.

This thread has made me have crisps (and a cheese and coleslaw sandwich) fat overload 😋

Aw I hope he enjoyed it 🥰

This is great news as it's my main worry!!!

Lots of things!

Drink alcohol 2-3 nights a week and likely exceed the 14 units recommendation (don’t really keep track)

Take recreational drugs at raves and festivals.

Stay in a stressful job that is soul destroying and eroding my mental health (no choice with this one).

I also love the sun and beach life, and consequently I’m ageing like a pear 😂

Drinking alcohol. My diet is pretty clean, I dont smoke and I exercise but I love a drink.

Drink wine, occasional bit of sunbathing, eat crisps most days, and I stay up past my bedtime way too often.

But I don't smoke, I eat healthy food and I have never done drugs so I refuse to feel guilty... :-)

Listening to the news.

Unless you're swigging a bottle or more a night I would not worry about it...

Pretty much everything in my life I enjoy, apart from reading and gardening, is bad for me. I am in my 70's and don't care. On the plus side, I don't smoke or vape, never have, I avoid all artificial sweeteners because they upset my stomach and make me feel like shit, have never sunbathed and drink very little alcohol although I have a drink when I want one.

Pork scratchings. I hadn’t had them for years then last year I was peckish and spied some in the pub, now I’m addicted to the unhealthy snack. The best ones are in the pub with a pint of ale 😋

Cheese as I'm mildly lactose intolerant. And wine. But wine and cheese together 🥰🥰🥰

i eat bacon. A bacon sandwich is my favourite breakfast. Not every day, but a couple of times at the weekend. Everything I read says it’s unhealthy, but I can’t give it up!

eat chocolate every day

Pepsi max and the sun!

Eating when I'm not hungry, I'm honestly not sure why. I won't have the OP's addiction though, I hate the heat.

Me too! I’ve cut down a lot to maybe one or two glasses a month. in my teens and 20s I went out partying 2 or 3 times a week drinking spirits all night. I just felt invincible when I was young!

Eating too much chocolate

Beer in a pub. Not the right atmosphere having a bottle at home.
I found myself on Google looking for pipe tobacco the other day. There is a shop cum cigar lounge near me.
It's just a matter of time . . . .

Social media

Get stressed.

I smoked for 38 years and tried many times to kick the habit. I finally succeeded and now I find the smell disgusting, can't stand it 🤮

wine…. 😬 I’m approaching 40 and realised I need to limit it to once or twice a week. Even once glass every couple of nights starts to chip away at me. But it’s hard!!

It's amazing how different we can be. The smell of smoke from someone smoking,or worse out walking & suddenly smelling weed makes me positively wretch 🤢

Eating too much chocolate, my vice...well I hardly ever drink or smoke lol.
