#Blog Challenge Day 8: Favorite Guilty Pleasure

Quality dark chocolate is my favorite guilty pleasure and I eat it almost every day. I don't feel all that guilty about it since its full of antioxidants, mood boosters, and stimulants for tired mamas. I do feel bad about the price though. I try to only spend $3-$4 a week on chocolate and usually buy the bars that range from $11-$14 per pound. There are some that are $20+ per pound! See, I'm exercising restraint :-)

My guiltier, even embarrassing, guilty pleasure is eating out at buffets. No need to choose between this or that, you can have it all! Salt and pepper chicken, Mongolian BBQ, "sushi", crablegs (if you are willing to stand in line and fight for the tongs). Real sushi buffets are amazing (and just a little scary). And Golden Corral? Well that's almost too many choices, because if I try everything I want to, I will actually die.

But then the regret: "I thought I wanted to live a healthy lifestyle. I am so dehydrated. I thought I had more self-control. I think I going to pop. I spent all that money and have no left-overs!"

In a few months the guilt fades away and the buffet longings come back. Now I have bared my soul...

    Oh my! What a WONDERFUL guilty pleasure! I wouldn't feel guilty at all either (said with a long I sound - heheha) We used to have an Old Country Buffet in the city over from ours - we'd go for the massive quantities of chocolate milk! :) The other city over from ours - but the other direction has a Ponderosa - but their prices went up, so we don't go there unless a special occasion. LOVE the BUFFETS!!

    Thanks for sharing :)
