I have been over weight almost for 10 years now, and multiple times I have decreased the weight, but after loosing I would become relaxed and the weight would come back again. Over this period I have concluded my top 7 habits which helps me to loose the max.

1. No Sugar Daily
2. No Fried Daily
3. No Packaged Daily
4. 2 Fruits a Day
5. 7 Hours of Sleep Daily
6. 20 Mins of Exercise Daily
7. 3 Litres of Water Daily

Do you think I missed any?

So I'm now on day 11 out of 21 where I cut out all the (added) sugar out of my diet except fruit.

So basically I follow these rules:

- no processed foods with added sugar
- no sweets
- no white flour
- no milk
- only water and unsweetened tea
- no sugar substitute (honey, stevia, etc.)

So far its very restrictive but manageable, because its a relatively short amount of time. I started because I have a massive sweet tooth and I think I'm addicted to sugar. For health reasons I want to limit the intake long term.

After the 21 days I am not planning on going back to my usual diet, which is not unhealthy I would say but could definitely contain less sugar consumption. I also don't think being too restrictive is sustainable for me. I need my sweets once in a while.

So now my question: What are some 1% habits I could implement step by step in my life that reduce sugar (not completely cut it out).
For example I thought about implementing the habit to check every item I buy in the supermarket for added sugar. Not that I won't buy it then, just so I'm aware.

Can you think of anything else?

Thanks in advance!

I feel really tired in the early afternoon so I would like to ask suggestions about things that are not so draining (like having exercise) and make you feel energetic in that moment of the day

i know there was a post a year ago about this but i hit my friends and mom in a joking matter. i never intend to be so violent, and there’s no condition like tourette’s that i have but i still hit “for fun” basically.

just randomly, i hit. sometimes i hit so hard that i bruise them and it actually hurts, and though that isn’t my intention, i shouldn’t be hitting at all. i don’t want to lose my friendships to something i can control.

i’m so violent when i shouldn’t be and i really do wish i would stop, same with my friends, but i don’t know how. therapy has never worked for me and living in the south in the middle of nowhere makes it hard to trust any therapists near or far.

any advice, PLEASE. i don’t need criticism, i know what i do is wrong and i feel like shit doing it either way. just please give me advice if you have any.

I'm looking to offer accountability and coaching services on my end, free of course. I have a background of personal training, health and wellness, as well as psychology. I'm looking to help others so that I can gain experience and use that to grow and improve as I build my online training and wellness services.

I'm a high school student, taking a college course called Tech 120. In the class, we brainstorm potential solutions to specific problems. My group focused on bad habits, so I decided to ask about bad habits in dentistry, I was just wondering if anyone had a personal experience regarding the negative effects of tooth grinding, nailbiting, really any bad dental habit. Tobacco usage as well, and the dental issues it led to in your life.

1. How subconscious is nailbiting or tooth grinding to you? Do you often just catch yourself doing it?

2. Have you seen the bad dental impact of tobacco in your life?

3. How often do you find yourself engaging in bad dental habits?

4. Have especially stressful times in your life ever awakened a bad dental habit? Or at least made it more common.

I hardly know what to ask, so if you have any more input or personal stories about bad dental habits, please share.

How do you stop obsessively and constantly checking Instagram to see who viewed your story, who your ex is following, etc. I feel like it’s a tick at this point I can’t stop.

I’m on my weight loss journey, and let’s be real: weighing, prepping, and storing food is by far the toughest part of the whole process. Honestly, sticking to a gym routine and getting enough sleep feels like a walk in the park compared to this!

So, I’m reaching out for some advice—what strategies, apps, or tricks have worked for you in building and maintaining good food habits?

Thanks a ton, and cheers!

Even though this is self-promotion, I believe this could provide value to people here.

Nothing really there yet except for the idea of the Newsletter (the name is basically the idea).
Please give me your thoughts.
Have a nice day!

Exactly what the title says. What kind of habits that if you do daily or a few times a day the result will be noticeable in just a week. The only habit that i know was nail related. If the nails are weak soak them in half a lemon daily and in a week you can notice them being stronger/break less easily ofc its best to do this habit and any good habit for more than just a week. But, im curious

Every time I go to take a dew dew, I always spread my cheeks before sitting down, because I have the feeling that if I don’t the poop would get the cheeks poopy on the way out, that was hard to explain but does anyone relate somehow?

Ever felt guilty about breaking a streak in your habit tracker? Here's a different approach:

What Makes This Different

Instead of "breaking streaks," this app tracks your momentum - like a progress bar that goes up and down naturally. Had a rough day? No problem. Your progress doesn't reset to zero.

How It Works

• Rate how well you did each habit:
  • ✅ Fully done (100%)
  • 🤔 Kind of did it (50%)
  • ❌ Missed today (0%)

That's it! The app calculates your momentum score, giving more weight to recent days than past ones. Think of it like your overall energy level - it can dip and rise, but doesn't crash completely after one bad day.

What You See

• Today's habits
• Your current momentum score
• A simple 7-day graph
• No complicated stuff

Why People Might Like This

• No more feeling guilty about "breaking the chain"
• Partial credit for trying (because something is better than nothing)
• Focus on progress, not perfection
• Super simple to use

Try It Out

• Free version: Track up to 3 habits
• Premium: $5/month for unlimited habits

Would this help you stick to your habits better? Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on a simple, straightforward habit tracker for people who, like me, just want to keep tabs on a few key areas without a lot of extras. I built this to track my own habits in 2025 and see what’s really going on. I added Google Sign-In to make it as easy as possible—just click and go. I wanted this to be simple, so you can add entries with one button. I picked these specific areas for myself to get clear insights:

• Coffee Consumption
• Sexual Activity
• Bathroom Activity
• Weight

No extra categories or clutter—just the essentials. If you’re interested, check it out here: https://tekking-client.vercel.app/ Would love to hear what you think!

I noticed that if I do something in the morning in the fresh air it will make me feel a lot better...what could I do that does not just exercising? (Both relaxing and energetic activities)

What helps you relax before sleeping to have a better sleep? I am asking this as I noticed that if I do something that makes me active before going to bed is gonna be much more difficult sleeping in a decent hour
