Default Re: What are your weaknesses or vices?

I like Oreos' too although I wouldn't call it a weakness unless you eat 300. At one sitting. Which I probably have done.

I like beer too much, I am too impatient (although better than I was), love for fellow man is hard for me (although I'm working on it), and I miss my cigarettes terribly.

Cakes and cookies, for sure!!! I could eat them all day long

Jealousy... Not in the, I hate that person for having what I don't sort of way, but more of an I wish I was like that person, I'm the worst for not being so.

Vanity? I don't know how that works. I don't like how I look and I worry about it way too much!

Also, sometimes if I'm really upset about something I close up and just try to sleep it off, rather than dealing with the problem. Or I start biting my skin which leaves nasty bruises. I'm trying to knock that one.

Sweets, especially pop/soda. I routinely drink 6 20-oz bottles a day or more. At this time, one of those is a "sugar pop" (290 calories), and the others are all diet.

I don't drink much of anything else. Don't like tea, coffee, juice, or water. I'll drink water if I'm hot, but I prefer pop.

I'm really not interested at this time in overcoming this vice. I am working on overcoming all the other sweets addictions, and the "permission" to drink soda (diet soda) helps me to overcome the temptation to eat an entire pound of Oreos. I'm actually doing pretty well at this, but I have times every few months when I fall apart and eat lots and lots of cake or cookies at one sitting.

I also love Peeps, and I can eat dozens and dozens of them at one sitting, if they are soft and fresh (I don't like the hard ones).

I don't understand what people mean when they say, "That's just too sweet for me." I don't get it. In my world, there's no such thing as "too sweet."

Default Re: What are your weaknesses or vices?

I pull my hair out a lot, cry a lot, care what people who don't deserve to be in my brain say what they want anyway. I also pick at my skin leaving scars and then when the scab comes I pick that off...those are my obsessions...Life is VERY sad to me, I wish I knew what a good day felt like, cause it's been months for sure...the further removed you are the more you forget what happiness is, just like anything else
