I<\/span>‘ve been working on the healthy living thing lately. I’ve done pretty good — I’ll tell you in a separate post about how well the hundred-push-ups thing is going, and I’ve lost another couple of the pounds I regained. Yay!<\/p>\n

But sometimes, you need a treat. No matter how healthy my choices, there will always be room in my life for splurges. Because dammit, I’m worth it. <\/p>\n

I’ve just indulged in one of my very favourite treats: wavy (ruffled, not rippled) Lays potato chips and Helluva Good Onion dip. Mmmm-mmm, lip-smackin’ deliciousness! And you know what? I do not feel in the least bit guilty about it. <\/p>\n

(I am, however, feeling a little sheepish about the compulsion to go back for a second helping. Which is exactly why I never keep that kind of food in the house. I think the “once in a blue moon” kind of indulgence makes it that much more delicious, but then I simply must get it out of the house!)<\/p>\n

And really, don’t you think it’s worth it to indulge a little bit every now and then? Cookies every day after dinner is a bad habit, but splurging on *really good* cookies every now and then is nirvana! <\/p>\n

When you’ve earned a treat, or when you need a treat, or when you really, really <\/em>want a treat — what do you reach for? When you must scratch that itch for junk food, what’s your go-to treat? Is it chocolate? Ice cream? Oreos? What’s your favourite indulgence?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
