Eat What You Want 
Day Everyday is a food holiday, and we celebrate some special dish, beverage or ingredient. But May 11 is special, because today you can eat whatever you want. It's National Eat What You Want Day!
This holiday was introduced by Thomas Roy, American film and voice actor, and his wife Ruth. They have made up about 80 funny holidays, officially registered under Wellcat Holidays trademark.

Today people are obsessed with diets and healthy nutrition. But everyone can relax and forget about the diet at lease once a year. Thomas and Ruth suggest doing it on May 11. And if you keep to a diet, you can eat what you want or try something that you've never tasted before. If you don't feel like discovering new tastes and dishes, here's Americas Top 5: French fries, hamburger, fried chicken, eggs, pizza. If this list contains one of your favorites, and we're sure it does, then don't hesitate and celebrate the holiday the way you want. Invite your friends over for a party and serve your favorite food. https://anydayguide.com/calendar/2937

1. It's been Eat What You Want Day

for my entire life. Now that I'm creeping up on 50 it looks like I might have to start watching my weight since I'm not as lean as I used to be (6'1", 184).

[Enthusiast]

2. Something happens at 50.

At 6'1", 184 I think you are doing very well.

Now, at 62 things take a decidedly downward trend. Particularly if vigorous exercise is not an option. I'm in the full time eat what you want mode (except gluten) at 6'3" 280+ and climbing.

4. It feels heavy to me.

I have a narrow body frame and the weight that I've gain has gone to my abdomen. I'm having some lower back pain from standing so if I could drop about 10-15 pounds or at least strengthen some muscles then I think that I would feel better.

[Enthusiast]

5. I wish I had known the value of abdominal strength thirty years ago.

I didn't understand the connection and it eventually made back surgery necessary. Same deal with my sister, BIL and a good buddy. My bud and BIL both said the exact thing, "Now I know what you mean about your back pain!" Yup, you never understand it until it happens to you.

[Enthusiast]

3. Twilight Zone was an amazing program.

The episode where the department store had an extra floor completely unsettled me as a child. The manikins. Whoa!
