What does it mean to eat like there is no tomorrow?
To some that could mean that there will be no consequences as a result of what you do or eat today. Is that a good idea to eat as though there will be no consequences?
Let’s explore your attitude and beliefs about the food you eat, or wouldn’t eat to decide what “eating like there is no tomorrow” really means.
What do you think when you see this?

Are you looking for answers in this blog? I’m not offering answers, just asking the questions you should be asking yourself. If you are looking for answers, I can’t give you solid answers but I can offer good advice.
Here is my advice:
Eat the food you like. Don’t eat anything you don’t like. Enjoy lots of fruits and vegetables. Eat like there is “no tomorrow.” Eating like “there is no tomorrow” means “do the best you can do today; don’t think that tomorrow you can fix what you regret that you did today!”
