Guilty pleasures are the things we indulge in that makes us feel really good and at the same time guilty because we're not supposed to have or do them. My guilty pleasure would be rich dark chocolate cake. When I feel a bit down, I stuff its heavenly goodness into my mouth, despite my doctor telling me to avoid it because I am mildly diabetic and chocolates trigger my migraines. :) It won't hurt to have a little bit, would it? Haha! What's your guilty pleasure? Mind sharing?

My ultimate guilty pleasure has to be sweets, especially chocolate that is my weakness. Even though I know I should be having it, especially with my diabetes, but sometimes it comes to a point that no matter, what I have in order to try and kill the craving, unless I get a piece of chocolate it won't go away. So normally what I do is after dinner, I will eat sugar free chocolate ice cream, which it alleviates my cravings for a bit. One of my favorite deserts in which I haven't had for a while is the chocolate cake that they have at Long horn, it is do die for, I can't recall the name of it, but it is the best...

That's why they often call it "sinful chocolate." Can't have enough of it myself. :)

When im not feeling good or need something i just get in my car and go shopping. I know i dont need anything but shopping helps me and it releases somethings in my body. Even if i dont purchase anything for myself but maybe buy someone else something is nice too and its still shopping and i know i will feel good after doing it. I dont know what shopping does for me but its a release method for me and just lets me do whatever i want at that moment. I know most people will go for food but im not a big food fanatic and i would rather do other things then eat, its just me and thats how i am. Enjoy your day

I have a friend who's just like you. Once she goes shopping, all her cares in the world goes away. It's an effective stress-reliever for her.

Mine would definitely be fastfoods! Specially during my angry days, like today, were I just am so angry, and sadly I can't do anything about it. Wendys hamburgers calms my nerves down and relaxes me. Hehehe. I just wish that there's a wendys store near my apartment!!! Argh. I'm so angry today!

Mine is sitting in front of my computer the whole day. I find pleasure in getting online. My doctor advised me not to spend long hours sitting in front of a computer due to my backbone problem, an early stage of scoliosis, but I can't follow him. It's really hard to follow doctor's advice.

I don't blame you. Computers and the Internet are so addictive. I'm guilty of this too. :)

Books and movies. Often I only have money left for foods, but when I noticed a book or a movie that I like, I would buy it. Does not think too much for what I would eat the next day or week. Stupid of me.

Guilty pleasures can be what motivates us the most. My guilty pleasures come in the form of chocolate. chocolate can always make me feel just a bit better and it is something i would not want to give up.

Mine would be sleeping in, and not doing anything the whole day. Although I rarely get to do it, once in a while I would have a weekend where I don't have to get up at 5 in the morning. I could even wake up, and stay on the bed just watching TV. And only go to the kitchen if I get really hungry. It's a guilty pleasure because I know that there are tons of things that I should instead be doing.

My guilty pleasure would be reading romantic tagalog novels. Reading makes me feel that I am in trance. I live in my fantasy and it is very good. It makes me forget the problems i have even in a little while. It makes me think on things on myself. Sometimes when I read this kind of book, I think of how I will live the future. Even if it makes me feel wonderful, I am not allowed to read things like this because my parents always tells me that it is just a waste of time and money. So whenever I have the opportunity to buy and read, I would definitely do it even if my parents will get angry of me.

Some of my guilty pleasures are debulging myself to lots of junk foods, specifically fast foods. Anything that i'd like to eat when i crave i go for it. I also want to have some sweets or salty foods. It depends on my mood swings for that day. What is important is i am satisfied with it.

I have so many, I don't even know where to start, I should be drowning in guilt by now :) Fortunately, most of them are completely harmless. In music, I have some 80s rock ballads that cheer me up when I'm depressed... normally I wouldn't admit listening to such tunes, I'm way heavier than that. On television, I watch reality shows like Survivor or soaps like Gilmore Girls. I don't really follow them, but if I turn on the TV when such a show is on, I watch the entire episode. I play a lot of really dumb computer games, like time management games or Plants vs. Zombies - they're just silly and addictive, I can spend hours on them. I do occasionally root for one football team just because they have cute players. I read mystery novels - dozens of them - when I should be reading something more educational. I spend time over here in myLot when I should be writing articles. Now that I think of it, I could probably list 100 such guilty pleasures, and maybe I could turn this into an article after all :)

My guilty pleasure would be dining lavishly. It is either I eat at an expensive restaurant or I would it at a nice restaurant and order anything that I want to taste even though I know I can't finish them all. Or worse, eat at an expensive restaurant and order many food. hahaha...
