If you could instantly fix one unhealthy habit of yours, which would you choose and why?

A natural way to answer

I'd probably fix my snacking. I tend to eat when I'm bored rather than hungry, and it's hard to cut down on. If it just disappeared, I think I'd feel a lot lighter and more focused.

Key phrases to use

• snap out of it — to quickly stop a bad mood or bad habit by an effort of will“I was feeling lazy but managed to snap out of it.”
• cut down on — to reduce the amount of something you do or consume“I'm trying to cut down on sugar.”
• break the cycle — to stop a repeating pattern of behaviour“Going to bed earlier helped me break the cycle of tiredness.”
