Indulgences:
Dark chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds...I keep telling myself that they're not an indulgence; that they're good for me but I ain't buyin' it.

:P

What's your indulgence that you keep rationalizing? And does the rationalization work?

2. Hiya, hon!
*sigh*

I've got a package of pomegranate seeds sitting on one side of my desk and a dish of peanut butter m&m's on the other side.

I'm screwed.

:hug: :hi: :hug:

14. I found several dark chocolate-covered things -
cashews, blueberries, walnuts, cherries, hazlenuts, marzipan(!), orange peel, raisins, raspberries, cranberries, ginger, macadamia nuts, pineapple, apricots, CHEERIOS(!), papaya, pistachios, peanut butter cups, peaches.

I've not yet ordered all of them - just the cashews, blueberries, and cherries, but they are DIVINE!

3. Camera lenses. And obscure single malt scotches.
I actually have two post-grad degrees that could be described as formal education in the fine art of rationalization. So, while I actually have "rationalization credentials" so to speak, no, the rationalization doesn't work. At all. The sad thing is that I really don't care that my attempts at rationalization fail.

5. Mine never work...
and I still eat the chocolate. Wish I could make myself not care, though. That'd lessen the guilt.

Wouldn't lessen the backside, but the guilt would be better.

16. Books
I buy way too many. I keep telling myself it's cheap entertainment but I could go to the local library and save a pile of money... but it just doesn't seem the same.
