Ssshhhhhhh! Don't worry about it. Don't even think about it. Nothing is to be said about diets today, but nothing is to be said about them. That's because it's International No Diet Day. Every May 6, it is commemorated.
Remember that you made a New Years Resolution to exercise, exercise, or lose weight just a few months ago? Now here it is, almost summer. How did the resolution work for you?

Take a break. Don't be so hard on yourself.
