  1. I loved the video Miz and am already brainstorming for what I can put on my list!!

    Thanks for responding to my DM.
    I didn’t want to have to sign up and giveaway my information at the Sears blog.

  2. Why does it make me a little happy you are normal and struggle, too? 🙂

    I have a kind of list in my head and it prolly should be written down.

  3. I LOVE this idea. I am going to write one and then try to do one every couple of days when I really need it. You are so inspiring!

  4. I love this!!
    Just the name is genius as it will make me feel taken care of and pampered in those times I want to scarf a box of Krispy Kremes 🙂

  5. Thanks! I needed to procastinate work a bit longer this morning! Here’s my brilliant comment. 🙂

    I think this is a great idea. We are used to “drop down” menus on computers. Even my VOIP phone at work has a menu for “Your Current Options.” I like the idea of using a “decadence list” (and what a wonderful name for it) in the same way.

    When I find myself having made an un-healthy choice, I usually wish I had at least considered other options. Just like our ocmputers don’t always have the options we are looking for (like “recover the document I just spend hours creating but now has vanished”) our list may not include “bury self in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s” but it can have more healthful–and more helpful–options.

  6. As a new mom I most liked when you said your daughter notices you take the list out of your purse (I think that was it).

    I want to try and teach my daughter the self-care I did not learn until I was an adult.

  7. Oh and I liked too that you are normal and sometimes make a “bad” choice and just move on with your life.

  8. Great idea, Miz. I’ve got a list of sorts, but I think I need to reframe how I think about it. I do believe in framing all things in the positive. Thank you for this.

  14. Thanks so much for the comment on my blog! I’m so excited to have discovered yours. Your before and after is amazing and so inspiring. You have the best arms!

  15. Thx for opening comments!

    I loved this Carla! I think this is super important. Right now, trying to find a way to make money & still doing my blog – the blog & all the time writing posts & trying to get to others can be overwhelming & my biggest gift to myself is to just walk away from the computer – unplug as we say.

    I also have meet days with friends that I like to keep!

  16. Love this idea! Earlier this morning I was staring into my bathroom mirror at my grey roots thinking I need to take care of those. With a decadence list they might get taken care of more regularly!! 😉

  17. I think it is a compliment to you that I only want to comment here and not when you link yourself to other places.

    You have created a community with a safe atmosphere.

    I am struggling with a tendency to self-harm lately (I have a therapist lest you worry :)) and I like this idea so that in the hazy crazy moments I do not need to even think.

    Thank you Miz.

  21. Have I told you lately that I want to be you when I grow up? You are my self-improvement guru. Every tip you give makes me simultaneously think “Huh, I could do that!” and then “I SHOULD do that.” Off to work on a decadence list…

  23. Ya know… that’s a REALLY good idea! There’s always the likelihood that the candy treats are going to rear their sweet little heads and attempt to thwart our goals. A handy decadent diversion may just be the solution to the problem. Thanks!
