cult: “a group with tenets and practices regarded as coercive, insular, or dangerous…a great devotion to an idea…a system of beliefs and rituals”

-Merriam Webster

You had a really bad day and went straight to the store on your way home. You promised yourself you wouldn’t cave, because you know exactly what’s about to happen. Your heart beats hard, your stomach rumbling from that missed lunch, but you’re on autopilot and there is no stopping now. Head down, you grab exactly what you came for and make your way home. Twenty minutes later, you’ve proven to yourself exactly why you don’t keep your “guilty pleasure” foods at home.
