Vice is a practice or a habit considered immoral, depraved, and/or degrading in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a defect, an infirmity or merely a bad habit.I chose the latter since I dont see my failings as immoral or depraved or degrading..Ten years ago I gave up on one of the worst ...cigarettes.. easiest to start ..hardest to get rid of...Then for the last 5 years I have been concerning myself on getting rid of the weight I have put on.. an even harder task than giving up smoking.. I am presently reading a book about giving up the bad habits I have acquired over the years and finding myself feeling that it really can be done..first step..to name the vices and one by one eliminate in a very practical manner
1) pop or soda - not so easy.. today is day one of my 14 day fast from having soda.. for those who know me well this is not an easy task..but I am determined to go forward with this
2) caffeine (coffee & tea)..hmmm... can easily drop the coffee as long as I consciously choose green tea every day.. and then to replace that with water so I am still reducing the caffeine I consume daily..yeah not so bad...
3) sugars- this will be a work in progress..and I will be eliminating things as I go along..
4) television-well exercising and going out for walks now that the weather is good should help get me off the couch.
5) chocolate,,,the beloved sweet treats that make my hips thicken just at the sight of it dammit!!
You will notice I stopped at 5 vices ..and Im sure I have many more..but these are the worst I have and I want to do this right...(keeping in mind I left alcohol off the list for now)
I am truly practical.. I dont expect a waistline like in the pic... but It surely does inspire me to think maybe I could be able to get down a size or two more if I try harder ...sigh
