Eat What You Want Day History

Eat What You Want Day encourages people to eat what they want without guilt. This day aims to allow everyone the opportunity to choose pleasure over diet. It does not suggest eating in excess, but rather the goal is to create a day free of stress and worry. It is a chance to quell that craving and indulge in a cheat day.

Eat What You Want Day was created in 2009 by Thomas and Ruth Roy, owners of Wellcat Holidays, a site dedicated to fun and quirky holidays. Eat What you Want Day is observed annually on May 11.
