Eat What You Want Day

Yum...a thick slab of prime rib with a fantastic fluffy baked potato and steamed veggies. Or a "mess" of fried baby catfish with some ford hooks and tater logs. Mmmm, mmmm.That's what I would like to celebrate Eat What You Want Day!  What would you like to have to eat today? Okay, great.....health permitting, go ahead and have any and all of your favorite foods and snacks. Because today is Eat What You Want Day. 
Eat What You Want Day is definitely not a day for diets. It is one single, solitary day in the year to go off your diet and eat something you really enjoy, Today, you can set aside your dietary "No-No" list. Today, you can splurge. Tomorrow, it's back to the diet. It is important to note that today is not intended to eat as much as you want. Rather, the goal is to eat something you otherwise wouldn't have. If you are watching carbs or calories, simply keep within your limits by eating just a small amount of that favorite treat.

I did celebrate by eating lunch with some girlfriends at the Olive Garden.  I didn't get what I would really like, but I did enjoy my lunch with some really good women.
