Indulgence is not a dirty word. It is OK to eat chocolate and to have a glass of wine and to even do these two things simultaneously while your children watch TV. As adults we do not need permission to enjoy our pleasures. Nor should there be associated guilt. As I read the newspaper I read that it is ok to have chocolate and hot cross buns as long at they are eaten in moderation. Indulgence it seems has to have limits. You can’t have too much of a good thing. I suppose it depends on your choice of a good thing. If it was ice which unfortunately I hear about often in consultations, then I would say you need to rethink your indulgence. Maybe you can consider ice baths instead which I enjoy. Most of us choose indulgences that are not illegal and are safe. We indulge in moderation most times. We have life experience to work out how much of the indulgence we can tolerate. So today if you are offered a chocolate egg say thank you. Obviously take into account any dietary restrictions due to medical conditons. After all you are an adult and responsible. Tear open the wrapper and bite into the chocolate. Enjoy the moment for it will be soon gone. Go on indulge yourself. You are worth it.
