Really, it's not as painful as it sounds.
John, from JohnIsFit.com, meme-tagged me and a few others with an opportunity to write about our biggest health/fitness vice. The lineage of this particular meme started with Fit36 and passed through Andrew and then on to John before tagging me. I'll tag a few myself before I'm done here.
What is my biggest health/fitness vice?
White chocolate and macadamia nut cookies from Costco. Dammit! Just writing about them has me salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs. Those big chewy disks of golden sweetness peppered with big chunks of chocolate and nuts are like kryptonite crack. It's a billion-calorie binge teetering on the precipice of a shame spiral circling the bowl in the bathroom of best intentions. White chocolate insanity, baby. Yeah, I got it bad. Quick somebody, hold my hand while I sweat this out.
And.......scene.
Moving on...
Let me just tone it down a notch. Exaggeration and hallucinogenic drug references aside, I really do like cookies (particularly those cookies) a lot. I tend to eat them by the 1/2-dozen and once they're gone I breathe a little sigh of relief. Eating them is a vice I allow myself infrequently- about once every couple of months-- or whenever they appear in my pantry. Those Costco cookies are pretty darn good but if there was a local source of Mrs. Fields' or Mrs. D's cookies of the same variety, I'd be a lot plumper.
Dammit, I'm drooling again.

Oh I love those cookies too! Well not the ones from Costco as we don't have them here but we have similar ones. White chocolate and macadamia for the win!
(( moan )) oh WHY did you have to bring those up. It's been so long I'd almost forgotten the taste.
Oh yeah, I've never had the Costco ones but in general those are tasty. Still, with the success you've had you must have been able to control those urges pretty well!
I'm not a fan of macadamia nuts.. for some reason macadamia nuts make my gums burn so I don't eat them.. must be an allergy.
I would have to say my vice is offbrand fruit rollups. They are so good. They are a different texture than regular fruit rollups, so not quite the same but they taste soooooo good!
@kate - my apologies. They're one of those things that I can stay away from for a long time but once I get a little taste, binge-city!
@andrew & john - doggone warehouse stores! The cool thing about being able to buy cookies ala carte (like at a cookie store or restaurant) is that you can get buy one or two really tasty cookies and you're done, sated. Costco's come in boxes of two dozen each. Oy! Buy in bulk, live in bulk.
@melanie - gum pain, no gain. Oh yeah! I ran across some "fruit leather" that was really tasty. It had just the right amount of chewiness and a tang that made your jaw clench almost involuntarily. It practically made eating them automatic.
