This is absurd! What if you were a harsh, overly strict parent six days a week then completely ignored your kids every Saturday? And how would this approach work for your marriage or managing your employees?It just doesn’t make sense to try to be perfect (whatever that is) Sunday through Friday all the while obsessing about everything you’re going to eat on your day off. Then on Saturday you overeat just because you’re allowed to so you end up feeling miserable all day. Huh? Personally, I’d rather enjoy eating the foods I love every day–mindfully and in moderation. When all foods fit, there is no cheating and food loses its power. I think of this as being “in charge” - which is far better than swinging back and forth between being in control and out of control.
