Today is No Diet Day.
I don’t know why someone decided May 6th should be this holiday. If someone celebrated Cinco de Mayo in a big way, wouldn’t they want to go on a diet the day after? Maybe the creator of this holiday thinks all diets should be avoided. Maybe they prefer the term lifestyle change. But then this holiday would be No Diet Year and not just No Diet Day.
As a person who likes challenges that have a beginning and an end, I like diets. Not fad diets, though, just do-the-right-thing diets. I’m in the third week of my 27 week diet, and so far, I’ve lost one pound. I’ve made a few adjustments, so hopefully, the scale will go down a little faster.
Saturday is my free day, so I’m not celebrating No Diet Day today. You can do whatever you want (which is always true.) Perhaps if you are not on a diet at all, you can tell people you are celebrating No Diet Day.
I’d call today Stick to Your Plan Day. Diet or don’t diet but don’t fall off the wagon because of a silly holiday.
