giving up a bad habit is like being afraid of ripping off a band-aid...like giving up smoking or ...worse...giving up coffee... at first you try to accept the concept of not behaving in that particular matter, then you try to have constant reminders of why doing it is bad in the first place...then you wake up the next morning and you tell yourself you're gonna start next monday, since no person in their right mind would start exercising, dieting or god-knows what else on a different day than monday...

you could try associating another bad habit with the first one so you know you don't do both...like smoking and coffee...you stop doing both altogether...but careful now cuz you know what they say...the sum of your vices is constant...so who knows what you'll end up doing more of...

you might wonder what's the moral in this...it's easy... you only need one person to have fun : yourself!
