Just finishing up a 16 hour fast. I’m staying with my fiancé’s parents for Christmas and will be out of my routine until next week. My fiancé’s mom is a gourmet cook so I’m trying to eat all her delicious dinners and then fast at least 14 hours without making a big deal out of “skipping breakfast.” It’s been important to me that I don’t draw attention to my fasting because I am thin (at goal weight) and my fiancé’s mom struggles with her weight.
So far, so good. Eating big lunches and dinners. Yesterday I delayed eating until 9am and today it will be noon when I eat, so I’m feeling stronger than I expected!
Answer
I feel that not making a big deal out of what we are doing, is best, anyway.
People seem to be okay with somebody not eating breakfast because they are not hungry, but mention fasting, and oh my God.
And yes, eat her good food!
