Don’t Abuse Yourself on Your Body-for-Life Free Day
I once heard somebody refer to the Body-for-Life Free Day as “Binge Day”. The Body-for-Life Free Day is meant to make you feel good about yourself and your diet. It is a day to reward yourself for sticking to your diet for six days straight.
Does anyone really feel good after bingeing? Think about it.
There is a huge difference between bingeing on a whole chocolate cake and enjoying a large slice of your favorite dessert. A binge will leave you feeling bloated and sick whereas allowing yourself a nice piece of cake will leave you feeling physically satisfied as well as satisfying your emotional need for something that would be considered a diet taboo.
Use your Body-for-Life free day as a reward, not an opportunity to abuse yourself.
