I could actually probably list about 10 more. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1920181 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 20:49:27 +0000 MapleMoose 1920181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: A relative of mine was told by the dermatologist that the spot on his leg where the hammer always banged against after years and years of wearing a toolbelt had a higher risk of developing cancerous cells from repetitive trauma to the area. Sounds like the same case in your mouth.. .scary! </p> <p>My bad habit is picking at the skin around my nails absentmindedly or when I'm stressed. I'm trying (again) to stop doing that. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1920175 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 20:45:24 +0000 mrsjyw 1920175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less phone time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1920150 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 20:26:50 +0000 Mrs. D 1920150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: omg, we're twins! I'm not messy, but my husband could probably get diagnosed with OCD, so he thinks everytime I put something down that I'm going to forget about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1920022 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 18:31:41 +0000 youboots 1920022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Biting my cuticles and nails.

So many things. To be very frank, in the thick of PPD I got into some bad habits that I still haven't broken, like failing to plan my lunches, and leaving our house in disarray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903855 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:30:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1903855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating sweets during this pregnancy. I bought some fruit to help. The low point was when I realized I had eaten an entire bag of fun sized Halloween skittles within two days All. By Myself. All of those dyes and sugars can't be good for my baby. Oh the guilt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903834 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:23:25 +0000 mrs. bird 1903834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: @blackbird: sorry to freak you both out! What I was told was that I had scar tissue from repetitive trauma on the insides of my cheeks &amp; that the scar tissue leads to abnormal cells that are more likely to become cancerous so the recommendation was to have the inside tissue shaved off to remove the scar tissue and any abnormal cells that could be growing. Again, I didn't have it done &amp; I'm just fine, but it did scare me into trying not to bite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903764 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:50:08 +0000 NurseMommy 1903764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Wait - WHAT?!?

Especially because we have a new baby, there's a steep learning curve, and I don't want him to get discouraged or annoyed about things we have to be particular about in the baby's care (i.e. please check the gussets on his diaper and point the weiner down, please don't leave the wipes container open, please prop the baby's head up while feeding so he doesn't swallow so much air, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903555 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:25:55 +0000 simplyfelicity 1903555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating when I am not hungry, spending too much time absent mindedly on my phone, interrupting people and not being a good listener. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903553 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:25:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1903553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: It's not easy, I've been there so i know your pain. I promised DH I would not start up again after this baby (I have a bad habit of feeling the need to smoke if i drink any form of alcohol), and I really want to stick to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903531 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:15:52 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1903531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>absentmindedly scrolling through my phone too much. that thing takes too more of my time than it should. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903527 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:14:38 +0000 mrs. bird 1903527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I bite the crap out of the inside of my mouth too!! My dentist was horrified by all the scar tissue in my mouth &amp; scared me by trying to send me to have it all removed because it can become cancerous (not sure how that works, but he said that's why it needed to be removed) but I didn't go because I know I can't stop biting &amp; it would come back. I've gotten better though! Mints &amp; gum helped me slow down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-bad-habits-youre-working-on-breaking#post-1903386 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:08:42 +0000 .twist. 1903386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: Oh no!
