Today morning while talking to my dear aunt about something which she does, inspite of knowing that its bad for her, I get the pat reply from her that : I like it… and I wont change for nuts..

Well suffice it to say, I am known to be very much like this darling aunt of mine, a package of contradictions and its scary sometimes, how I can see myself in her and her in me.. :)

So well, a post formed in my mind.. about the bad habits I liked.. and would not give it up, knowing that I like it.. and well it is not so good for me in the long run.. .:)

So here I go.

    1. Watching TV while I eat. There is something comforting about this.. cannot tell you..
    2. Sleeping and reading a book without bothering for much light.
    3. I love walnuts and however much I try, I just cannot stop eating them. Rocky is exasperated and is trying to get me out of it but NOPE, I keep doing it.
    4. Shopping without thought, when I am stressed. Though I am limiting it to window shopping, it still has not gone out of my mind.
    5. Cannot get over the fascination over desserts.. I can eat till it makes me sick and its worth it.. buhahah a!!
    6. Pickles : I can get sick on tamarind and sweet and sour pickles..
    7. Knowing when a situation is bad, and then actually waiting sadistically to unveil itself to prove that right and then bemoaning the very fact.. when it comes to me.. Stupid.. I know.. GAH to me
    8. Extremely lazy to take up any form of exercise
    9. Hates getting up early.. even though I like it once I am up
    10. never takes good advice which I dole out to my friends.. for myself.. am pretty good at ignoring me.. :)
    11. And some more….

      Now for the good part..

      At least I know I have them, makes for a good list to get rid or to convert into a habit which helps me. So here goes the plan.. am trying to commit to adhering to it.. but its so interesting how familiarity breeds comfort every now and then, I tend to go back..

        1. Have meals early and watch whatever I watch later..
        2. Find a comfortable position to read.. maybe a different time helps..
        3. Hide the box of walnuts in such a place so that I get reminded only once in a while.. he he .. That is working
        4. Window shopping is good.. Now I treat myself to limited window shopping and maybe just maybe buy something very small to trick the mind..
        5. Dont have a plan on the Desserts.. YUM.. I am already drooling.. :) :)
        6. Have different pickles to change my tastes..
        7. Well I have decided that enough is enough.. and its alright to test the self but not at the cost of cutting off my nose to spite my face.. : Plan is to plod on giving 100 percent.. even if the situation looks bad.. sigh.. I have test myself again.. on this..
        8. Exercise : Got myself some videos to work with it in the evenings. .he he
        9. Still hate getting up early.. NO PLAN there..
        10. Listen more to self more than anyone.. it works.. :)
        11. rest Later.. :) I am still developing it.. :)

            I’m not sure that liking pickles is a bad habit. If it is, then its one we share. Well, that and the sleeping in late. I have had some luck breaking bad habits with a book called 29 DAYS… to a habit you want! by Richard Fast. I’ll admit that I only tried it because it was a free download, but it gave me something a lot of other attempts didn’t. Reinforcement, which was a big help for me.
