Today might just be your lucky day! 11th May is marked annually as ‘National Eat What You Want Day’ and what you see is what you get. This day is all about having fun and indulging in the foods that you love and might restrict yourself from when dieting. So, think about what is your guilty food pleasure? Take this as an opportunity to treat yourself without feeling guilty!
The Why
Thomas and Ruth Roy created this day for this very purpose. As a society, we are bombarded with crazy new diets and fads that aren’t realistic or healthy for us and social media has meant that we see influencers with the ‘perfect’ body type day in day out. It can be very difficult to not compare ourselves and our bodies to these unrealistic standards as these images are heavily edited. Take this day to let go of these pressures and take pleasure in foods that you love!
Here are some ways you can indulge:
- A cheesy pizza
- Get your favourite chocolatey dessert
- Order your favourite take-away
- Have breakfast for dinner
- Eat whatever makes you and your belly happy!
Going Forward
This day could be the start of your health journey! It might sound a bit confusing but let me explain. It is possible to indulge in your favourite foods whilst still being healthy and maintaining your fitness goals. What if your favourite dessert was filled with nutrients and nourished your body? Sounds too good to be true, right? But with Love Yourself this is possible!
