  |  Guilty Pleasures - What Are Yours?
Hi! I have trouble with dairy but my problem is I also love coffee. So when out and about I always indulge myself with my favourite beverage. At this point, life is grand until I start reacting to the milk badly. An adequate description of this reaction is a borrowed quote from Donkey "I [coffee] go down smooth, but I [coffee] come out fighting". This is how my insides feel when this happens! Within 30 minutes, without fail I have stomach cramps and it feels like there is a war going on in there! I always vow never to put my lips near another cup of coffee every time, but I never learn. Why do I do this to myself? (Don't answer that, I already know the answer  ).Do you do this too? What is your guilty pleasure? |

I guess crisps? Or just eating too much of any food that's dense enough to leave me bloated. Both of these things leave me feeling pretty bad, though I'm learning little by little. I think the key is just to be conscious of what's happening. Just watch what's going on from the inside, observe the pattern. Then eventually you go, "oh! I don't have to do this thing!", or the pattern simply dissolves as it becomes more and more conscious. No magic trick here. You're the guy who's doing all of this, right? But until you really realise what you're doing, all the ramifications of it, you really see it all exactly as it is, you keep on doing it because some part of the truth isn't being fully registered or fully acknowledged. |

Besides that, cigarettes and coffee. Cigarettes, I quit about two months ago, but coffee...coffee will never leave me. | |

Dauphinoise French Brie...Oh dear lord...it's the closest thing to heaven in this dimension I think. It's all runny and gooey and delicious. I eat the whole triangle in no time as a treat nearly every week. Last week I changed brand and boy was that a mistake...tasted like poison.

 I don't even like computers that much. Look at my post count. I'm like that loser who spends too much time on forums. Never thought I 'd be THAT! But seriously, I do have a life...I just choose to spend lots of it here. A few years ago I would have judged someone like me very harshly. Well, it is pretty fun at times and lots of really interesting discussions which I don't always have in my off line life due to not finding the right people who want to talk about this stuff with, and I have laughs with some crazy peeps, which I do in my life off line as well...there are just more concentrated numbers of them here.

OH!! How dare you!@!! Computers are our friends. You can hug them and squeeze them and.....uh....I think I have been online too much. Anyway, my guilty pleasure is chocolate covered marshmallows. The ones that only come out at Valentines Day, Halloween, and Christmas. Not the fake marshmallow either. It has to be the nice sticky fluffy kind. | |

 On a serious note, I think the concept of a guilty pleasure is kind of screwy. If you do it and want to keep doing it, own it. Sometimes the term "guilty pleasure" can be a form of giving your power away. In fact, if it's being used at all seriously, it is. I do drink coffee, black or with chocolate and coconut milk on occasion, like there is no tomorrow. I frakkin love the stuff. And the precious caffeine in its dusky depths. I haven't looked at the studies or anything yet, so I'm not banking on it, but there are actually indications of health -benefits- about it. | ||

There is something somewhat addicting about diet coke/pepsi. My mother is a diabetic, so I grew up drinking the stuff and I just can't kick the habit. I don't drink a lot, but still, I'm pretty sure I've read a study that said I'll grow a third head if I continue drinking the stuff.  I agree a guilty pleasure is sort of a screwy concept. |

LIME PICKLES! I eat them on just about everything...even food that isn't indian. I absolutely LOVE this condiment so much. My whole jar is gone right now, and it needs replacing. LIME PICKLES, the most delicious condiment ever to grace the shelves. Last edited by elucidate; 11-07-2011 at 10:30 AM. |

Food: McDonalds food and kebabs (I didn't eat it when I was a vegetarian, but now that I'm an omnivore again, the temptation is always here). Although I remember that for almost a year I had no desire for any form of meat whatsoever and McDonalds food looked uneatable to me. I started getting craving for it again only few months ago. TV shows: Excessive watching of TV shows. I'm watching House MD, 90210, Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives and Glee. I used to watch Grey's anatomy as well, but it got boring recently. And why Lie To Me, which was my favorite show, stopped???! I don't know how many hours I've spent watching TV shows other the past few years. I know, with Gossip Girl on my show list I'll never sound wise and spiritual again However, when I want to feel better about my addiction to TV shows, I remember a guy I know who's 22 and have already read around 25 vampire-romance books, including Twilight, the whole series on which vampire diaries are based on and many others. It's his dark secrets, since guys usually mock vampire romance, lol |

I think I was still eating them when I read an FHM article about a guy who, inspired by "Supersize Me", decided to go on a kebab diet. Apparently the doctors told him to stop before the month was up because the way things were going, he wouldn't live that long. That was probably one of my first contacts with the idea that the food you eat could actually have an effect on your short-term wellbeing rather than just a far off hard to imagine statistical probability of dying earlier. | |
