This post is in reference to the many "free day" or "cheat days" posts about the foods people want, or are going to eat. If you are religious than being free may mean something different than if you are a 15 year old, and different still if you are family or friend of a veteran. However free day's, in and of themselves, make the point that you are not free every other day. The idea that one day a week you get to eat whatever you want, is that healthy? Does that mean that on those days you binge on what you can't have on the other days? Do we then pressure ourselves to eat what we can't have the other days because this is your only chance for happiness?
Why is it okay to be free to choose everywhere except our diet?
In
the end, my qualms with cheat days can simply be understood as follows. If
someone is chained up for 6 days and then
free 1, eventually do you think they will go back to the chain. Can you
live your life for 70 years hooking yourself back up to the chain after
the free day?
You can still eat food, you just don't need to get a route 44 soda, or a large milkshake. It could be a small milkshake or a kid's cone depending on the place. And if you really just love food, show it the by enjoying it, not engulfing it.
What has helped you to have a healthy relationship with food?
