Living causes dying. And some people really just are no fun. At all.

I get the intent of this post. We all need to let go and reward ourselves. I desire many of the foods I see posted here. But I choose not to indulge in these highly processed foods that offer little nutritional benefit and are more detrimental to my health than helpful. Health is accumulative. I want to stay fit and healthy as long as I can. When I need a guilty pleasure, I resist. I will wait. Then when I do indulge, I really appreciate it. When choose to eat poorly, the one food I really crave, and have craved over the decades is Taco Bell hard shelled tacos. I used to order three for lunch, but now just two. I don't have to eat poorly and be a glutton at the same time.

As nurses we are role models. A good nurse practices what s/he preaches. We all need to reward ourselves. I encourage you to consider how your guilty pleasures are causing you harm. How is it effecting the people who love you? One way to consider your influence is to take a hard look at your family, friends and colleagues. Studies indicate a relationship in health practices. If one person embraces healthier behavior, a ripple effect takes place, causing other members in the circle of influence to take better self care. The opposite is also true. By posting all the junk food we consume in this post, it gives permission to our peers to follow suit.

What else can you do to feel better? I get a pedicure every two weeks. I go on dates with my husband. Take a weekend vacation. There are many other things we can do to feel better that are good for all.

I put forth a challenge to come up with a new pleasure that will enhance your well-being and perhaps encourage others to do the same.

Thanks for killing a fun, lighthearted thread! Lighten up, Frances. This was supposed to be something funny and silly to give us all a break from the seriousness & misery of our work. Gee.

Lol I eat bacon at least twice a week at work during our break. The nurses I eat with tease me, "How do you eat all that bacon?"

I need to share the previous post with them.

The question should be, how do you NOT eat all that bacon?? Why, it's one of the four food groups! :yes:

You all suck! I started reading this thread content with my diet coke. In the time it took me to read all the posts I've consumed a drumstick ice cream cone and 4 of the new Reese's peanut butter Oreos [awesome by the way!] and I'm contemplating some spicy Cajun chips with a glass of wine, or maybe a shot of Crown Royal to wash down the sweets. Tomorrow is the day I catch up on all the shows I DVR during the week, so I'll save the wine for that. So tonight..Crown Royal it is!

Absolutely. You have to have some healthy form of release or else you will be in the nut house. We will all die eventually but you have to live alittle too. Some things have to be done in moderation but one can not always be so serious. I believe that a is a Type A personality who end up up with a heart attack or stroke or maybe even cancer. Cut loose so you have the energy and stamina to make it through the next rough shift you are about to face. Stop killing all the fun in this life.
