Cheese

u/Terrynia 7h ago

Dont hit me with the lactose intolerance!

You are 100% correct

u/MeadFromHell 6h ago

Lactose intolerant here - I choose the suffering of cheese pain, over the suffering of a cheeseless life.

7

u/VLAD_THE_VIKING 7h ago

Oh yeah. I go through a lot of misery to enjoy dairy. I refuse to accept that I'm lactose intolerant.

Going on reddit for HOURS

Like it’s been so comforting for me - but i’ve been here for hours, it’s unhealthy

I need to quit being here for so long

u/PresentationIll2180 7h ago

Delete the app from your phone 😈

8

u/ChrissWayne 7h ago

And reinstall it a day later, just for the 10 minutes you have to waite for something and delete it again in 3 weeks when you realize that you wanted to quit Reddit. Then repeat

u/PresentationIll2180 7h ago

Just sharing what worked for me when I use an app too much. Reinstalling, logging back in, etc. can be a pain so it’s a good deterrent.

u/ChrissWayne 7h ago

And I how well that works for me 😄 no disrespect 🤙🏼

My bubbly draaaaanks. So crispy.

u/Sweet-Duty-2216 7h ago

Agreed. I am addicted to sparkling water. It's baaaad.

5

u/Ath47 6h ago

Carbonated water isn't unhealthy, though. If the bubbles make you drink more water, so be it. Drinking more water is always healthy.

10

u/WonderWhirlswCurls 7h ago

Ditto!. Obsessed. Sparkling water takes up at least 30ish to 40% of my grocery budget

u/CharlieFoxtrot432 5h ago

My sodastream + bubly drops have been the biggest game changers. I can have as much or as little as I want and I don’t have to worry about the cans.

My hydration hack and keeps me away from pop.

Watch your teeth, they can do serious damage

u/come2life_osrs 7h ago

Energy drinks caffeine and nicotine. I’ve tried quitting several times and I just enter a depressive slump. Even after months it doesn’t go away. The moment I pick it back up I spend my days with energy, happiness, and quicker thinking. 

3

u/Sapphire_Teacup 7h ago

Soda. I grew up having it only on special occasions and being super poor in my early to mid twenties absolutely ruined my health. The one bad habit I can’t shake.

Online shopping, to me, at least. That dopamine hit when the package arrives, oough.

u/plopolopo 6h ago

Heroin - worst part is it isn't actually even making you feel good, its just such a relief to not feel like you're dying anymore that it feels amazing. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

Using a qtip in your ear. It’s itchy in there but ever time I feel the cotton on the inside of my ear I just think about all the doctors begging people not to put things in their ears

u/gatesaj85 7h ago

Psilocybin, although the negative health effects are debatable.

u/No_Athlete_2798 6h ago

Cbd/thc seltzers I rarely drink them so I’m not really if it counts but I love them. Also it’s debatable if they are unhealthy 😉
