How often do you succumb to temporary gratification of satisfaction?
Come on, we are all human and we have our whims,desires and urges to be met or gratified such as material things, cravings or adventures. It has never been easy resisting guilty pleasures as such. I admit that buying new outfit and eating pork crackings are just two of the things in life that I find hard to resist. Yes, they temporarily gratify me because after eating pork cracklings I feel like I have been harsh to my body as you know,pork cracklings is very unfriendly to our livers. Same thing, I feel after buying a new outfit, I feel like, I should have been stemming the influx in my closet but clothes keep coming in and now I need to buy a new cupboard for new stuff. I don't buy these things every day though,I think it is fine to give in to pleasures once in a while like once a month. How about you?

Yes, i always would give in to my cravings for new things too. But i see to it that when i do, it will not hurt my budget.
It's a good thing we have uniforms now. I don't buy new blouses anymore.

Now that I am out of job, it is hard to think of the things that I would want for myself. I prioritize the needs of my children instead.

The temptation that I succumb to most often is chocolate. Not all the time but when I succumb, I really succumb. I've eaten a large bag of M&M's in one sitting. Those girl scout cookies coated in chocolate and toasted coconut, love 'em. My guy friend brought me a box a couple of weeks ago and it was demolished in a couple of hours. When it comes to chocolate in my world there's no such thing as save some for later. If I could, I would snort it.
