You should know better

Published

Ok, AN, it's guilty pleasure time. What do you do that you know as a nurse you shouldn't? Chain smoke? Binge drink on the weekends? Lecture a patient on a healthy lifestyle then go home and slam down a whole mac-n-cheese pizza? Ride your kick-a** donorcycle to work? Do back flips on your trampoline while juggling swords?

Out with it!

I drink Coke. Full sugar coke. I was drinking one a day with dinner, but I have cut down a tiny bit.

Sweets, ANY sweets...donuts, cake, pie, ice cream, chocolates. I really do try to avoid the bakery when shopping, but sometimes the aroma just ropes helpless me in.

Food and alcohol, for sure. I drink probably 1-2x per week with my boyfriend. Once every couple of months, I really go all out in the alcohol department to the extent that I'm hung over the next day.

What can I say? I have a tasty mixed drink problem. Pass the pomegranate margaritas, please.

I also don't exercise pretty much ever.
