If you're 88, you're definitely doing something right, I feel.

Good Morning

I have never smoked, and I'm so glad you have had a smoke-free life.  I'm not sure how anyone could afford to buy cigarettes now.   My understanding is that they are very expensive.  As far as treats, I think if you want one, you should have it.  Always remember, rules are meant to be broken Haha. I love vegetables except for asparagus.   To me, it tastes disgusting.  I hope you have a good day.  Stay warm!

I'm with you on the asparagus -- yuck!  Also trying to eat fewer tacky snacky things. But they taste so good, she whines. Just a few cheese puffs and some fruit punch. OK?

I think it's fine to treat yourself once in a while. Good thing you stayed away from smoking anything because it is a health hazard otherwise.

We all have to be bad occasionally, You are amazing if you go a month. We have trouble going a week. Good for you and I am sure everything tasted wonderful.

There's something so satisfying about having a snack of something "bad." You eat healthy otherwise so it's okay to enjoy it for now.
