Eat What You Want, Already!
May 11th is Eat What You Want Day. You're going to be told this over and over by people in your Twitter stream, pimping blog posts that tell you to throw gastrointestinal caution to the wind. Have another donut! Wrap some bacon around that! They make bigger pants!
I'm not going there, and you're not, either.
Oh, I'm all for pulling the speakers outside, playing Funky Col Medina loud and dancing on the roof in a Speedo, but damnit, I'm going to have a safety cable tied to my behind when I do it. I'd like to survive the experience, if only to experience the isolation my neighbors will have in store.
Look, I didn't say it was Global Gluttony Day. There's a fine shade difference between breaking from that diet for an afternoon, and developing a culinary tractor beam. Gluttony is all about how many times your hand moves toward your mouth over a certain time period.
We're going to discuss how to enjoy today, in moderation, and with meaning.
How to Eat What You Want
Identify Your Prey: First off, this isn't exactly a national holiday, so unless you banged out a bunch of office flyers and used your office email in a frowned-upon manner (like you haven't before...) nobody is going to bring a load of bad stuff to sample.
Make the day special by baking something for breakfast you absolutely adore, or visit an imported foods store, and wander the shelves with complete abandon. Just make sure you bring enough for others to have, too.
Sharing is Caring: Limit how much temptation stares at your cubicle, by getting rid of it as rapidly as possible. Divide your loot into small, ready to take portions. Take one piece for yourself, then let everyone else in the office know what you brought in. Try not to cry out loud as the vultures fly away with handfuls of your Love.
