Habits: some have good ones others bad ones. I have a real bad habit. MIne is drinking a lot of coffee. As you may know I own a internet cafe here in Mexico. I sell alot of coffee from all over the world here. So I have 3-4 pots right next to my desk all the time. I can drink 5-6 cups of coffee a day here. So what is your habit good or bad?

I have a bad habit of drinking soda all day long. I'm a caffeine addict I know it. I'm sure I do have a good habit some where but I don't know what it is at the moment. I'll probably thinking of one later. I sleep with a soda by my bed all night long and the only time I don't drink soda was when I've been pregnant with my babies. Then I had a good habit of sleeping with a cup of water or a bottle of water. I've got in the habit of cutting back soda when I"m out with friends at like a restaurant or something.

Drinking diet soda is worst for people then regular. I can't do a 12 pack by myself. I can drink a good couple in a day but not that many or I would be peeing like crazy.

My sister is the same way. She can drink a 12 pack of pepsi a day. At least she drinks diet- pepsi.

Nice!!! You are my kind of person. I also have a few bad habits. I smoke and drink lots of coffee. I love strong dark coffee. I own the Keurig machine and I buy the Green Mountain Double Black Diamond blend. And I also like Melitta's European dark roast. I need my coffee and love the flavor. Now in addition to that, I drink my coffee black with no sugar.

I have many habits and one of them is drinking coffee, but I don't think it is a bad habit. I love a good medium roast coffee. I can have up to three cups of fresh coffee in the morning before I go to work. With all the travelling I do, I tend to buy fresh coffee beans in certain countries, for example Kenya has some very good coffee blends so when I am in Nairobi I'll buy some Kenyan coffee and some Ugandan coffee and sometimes I'll buy some Ethiopian coffee. Coffee from Central America and South America (Columbia, Venezuela or Brazilian) are also pretty good. Do you also have good quality coffee in Mexico?

When I get depressed, I intend to eat snacks, sugary snacks and they are not good for me. It really hurts when I hear something bad that anyone does or could potentially do, especially if I have a tendancy to do so, so I will eat more cookies or bars than I should. I do eat cheese when I am happy, but that is not considered a habit. I will have more then 2 cups of coffee when I am going out, but if it is just me at home, one cup.

Unless diabetes runs in your family and then your friends tell you, "maybe you should watch your sugar."

I think that everybody has habits that they are not happy with, but it is good that you are thinking about the good ones as well. One of the things that I have got into is being able to clear up right after dinner as soon as I have taken my plate into the kitchen. This is something that I didn't always do, and it meant that the plates would just stack up throughout the course of the day, but getting into the habit of doing things straight away means that you're able to relax and enjoy the rest of your evening without having to worry about what you still have to do.

Yes, i agree.. habits can be good or bad, but it is very hard to break any habit.. i have the same habit as you do, drinking coffee. it has an opposite effect on me though, it makes me sleepy. i drink coffee, like 3-5 cups a day.. it is very delicious.

I actually quit drinking coffee but I smoke and I hate that I do. I quit for five months and gained so much weight I actually started again. If I could whip that I would quit again.

Yes, smoking can be bad for you. But the worse is the cost. Cigs. are like 3.50 a pack here in mexico. Where the min. wage is like 75.00 a week.

My husband is the same, he loves coffee so much. I even bought a coffee maker for our room so that he won't have to go down stairs whenever he wants coffee during the middle of the night while working with a book. As for me, I have a bad habit of reliving things as if they just happened yesterday.

Sometimes reliving things is a good thing. At least I hope it is in your case.

When I was younger, I would drink Mountain Dew / Coca Cola often. I also had a lot of ice cream. Basically I was having a caffeine and sugar high for a long time, and I'm noy particularly sure how, but my sugar addiction immediately stopped. Nothing too traumatic. My soda addiction did drift and I've purely been drinking water for the past 4 years. Sugar does come back, though it's a very rare event. I guess my current situation would be spicy food though. :P

Hi mariaperalta! With your business, it's really seemed unavoidable to sip a cup of coffee when you always smell its tempting aroma. I also love coffee but I try to consume only one cup a day. My bad habit I guess is I tend to sleep late on weekdays. But during weekends I sleep all day to compensate for it.

Frowning - Frowning often would cause wrinkles at our forehead.
Hi mariaperalta, one of my habits is to frown. I frown quite often, like making wrinkles on my forehead. For example, if someone speaks a joke, i would frown which looks funny. When i stress and feeling pressure, i frown. When i am tired, i frown. When i am happy and making fun, i frown too! And my husband always laughs at me, and tries to rub off the wrinkles over my forehead. It kind of a bad habit for me to frown too often because it causes wrinkles to my forehead. But normally my frown is not a feeling of displeasure, or to express disapproval. That is called a scowl.
