Your Guilty Pleasure?

I'm trying to do the commute to work all 5 days a week, meaning I clock up just over 100 miles a week.
(Not as much as some of you guys!).
Doing the Friday can be a bit of a drag, so as an incentive I get myself something nice to tuck into when I get to work.
At the moment it is those filthy energy drinks, I know they are not good for you, but I do love the taste.
Today's one was the cherry Relentless (2 cans for £1.50 from my local corner shop).
The other can of orange flavour filth is going in the work fridge for next Friday!

Putting a basket on the front of my hybrid and then going for a sunday morning ride. A cheery ring on the big brass bell and a "good morning" as you sweep past allez-man in pro-team colours is priceless0

+1 for pork and pastry combos - either sausage rolls or pork pies.
And occasionally a Chocolate Frijj if they're on offer, but then I tell myself it's a protein recovery drink

Yes, if you are going to do it bloody well do it. Dark chocolate digestives.
I justify booze by cycling, and i only drink duvel these days so its basically just Belgium water"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Ha lovely got to admit overtaking Allez man on the old MTB is one of mine, that and leaving mopeds for dead though the bends, old MTB has XC tyres which can handle wet rock so Tarmac is well within there limits.

I simply do not understand the premise.
If I get pleasure from something, why should I feel guilty?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Which I don't.
None of the other examples appear to be illegal either.

Ah - you must have a very simple life made up of black and white decisions...
Don't worry, I'll explain it for you... :P
Most humans are a little more conflicted than you are and generally make decisions to do things or not based on weighing the balance of (sometimes) conflicting motivations.
Sometimes, the "logical" weight of those conflicting reasons may mean that you should or shouldn't do something. Spock wouldn't have a problem here - he'd pick the logical one. We on the other hand like to include the entirely subjective weighting of "pleasure", which we can use to sway our own decision away from the purely logical one - even if that means betraying your own goals.
Hence whilst deriving pleasure from something we can simultaneously feel guilt at having betrayed some competing goal we were also trying to achieve in the decision making balance.

Finding a sweet-shop in Buntingford that does proper old fashioned milkbottle sweets and then forgetting all about my healthy options and technical SIS/Torq stuff; ended up doing hundreds of miles fueled by milk-bottles. Glorious.0
