Whether or not we like to admit it, I think we all have guilty pleasures. They make life worth living! Maybe it’s binge-watching a series on Netflix, or sneaking that forbidden (if you’re a WLS patient) bottle of beer and a buffalo wing on Sunday afternoons while watching the football game with friends, or leaving dirty dishes in the sink all weekend until you get to them Sunday night. Maybe you even like displaying a little bit of passive-aggressive road rage by driving slowly when you can tell that the driver behind you is getting impatient.

So what is your biggest guilty pleasure? If it has to do with food, how do you balance it with your weight loss surgery diet and healthy intentions? Some of the best ways to get in that guilty pleasure are to have just a little while throwing away the rest (like eating the burger but not the bun, or the beef and Beans but not the tortilla), or having just a bite. You can also plan for it – for example, if you’re several months or more post-op and you know your stomach can handle it, you can cut back on calories for a couple of days to “save up” the hundreds of extras you’d need to balance out a milkshake.

Hot food---not spicy---just hot food.

I find eating so slowly my food gets cold before I can finish my meal. I know I can "nuke" it, but I just don't think food tastes as good and fresh once it's reheated.

AND of course those "Demon inspired" crunchy Cheetoes. I can't even have them in the neighbors' house!!!! I can smell them out like a hound dog treeing a raccoon.

I have not, when I was trying to decide between Ipsy or Birchbox a couple people I know said go with Ipsy. I like makeup and they said you get more makeup with that box and more general beauty ( cleanser, hair products etc) with Birchbox.

Ipsy has larger sample sizes than Birch. My daughter gets both - perfect bday present for a 16 year old

And I love the super cute bag you get every month. I actually use them as clutches when I go out at night and don't want to carry a purse. They are perfectly sized for phone, cash, phone and lippie!

Guilty pleasure??

Skirts. Cute ones. Flouncy ones that sit above the knee. Been buying them and wearing them every day since June. Almost went all summer not wearing shorts unless I was in the garden. Heck today I turned over my planters to fall mums wearing one!!!

Found a great little shop that takes beautiful silk saris and turns them into a wrap skirt.

Wearing one now. And it's flouncy, and girlie, and sexy and fun. Like me!

Saturday College Football. It's the equivalent of a porn addiction or something like that. I was watching a game, had my iPhone on another and iPad keeping track of scores. If I ever start betting, I'm going to rehab.

My wife and I are quite sexually adventurous so the current guilty pleasure is sugar free chocolate syrup and our imagination.

Give me college ball any day over the pros.

I didn't even know I should feel guilty about that! look, I watch every game I possibly can. the TV is on ALL weekend during football. if there is no game on, I am listening to someone talk about the games. we may end up in rehab together........... naw, that would be a problem for the keepers!

The Keepers would never be able to get us enough high Protein Snacks.

My guilty pleasure is going to my favorite coffee shop by myself. It is my time that no one gets to take from me!

(1) I get to wear a favorite shopping find, hair and makeup.

(2) My chai tea skinny latte is an addiction.

(3) I get the chance to people watch and have casual conversations.

I've mostly reigned in my indulgence in guilty pleasures......

It's fun to have fun, though. No guilt from most funs.

Life is much more enjoyable now that I'm a bit more streamlined and able to do things I enjoy.

Bamsucka !!!!

There it is..........one of the greatest byproducts of wls........getting thy freak-on !!!!

We have been freaks for years! My wife has a 4 year in psychology with an emphasis on abnormal sexualality. I swear that I'm a thesis paper. I'm pretty sure that after I go to bed she writes in a journal "dear thesis paper, you won't believe what he did today".

Only @@Dub comes up with words like

"Bamsucka"

I'd ask for a translation, but given the topic, I might be afraid...
