I am on my third fast day and so far the most difficult aspect of fasting for me has been having to deal with food continually because I have two small children at home. I feel it would be much easier if I didn’t have to worry about feeding other people! I do try to plan ahead — I know exactly what I am going to feed the kids on my fast day, so as to reduce rummaging around in the fridge and the cupboards. I also tend to choose leftovers or foods that are quickly prepared, so I don’t have to spend much time in the kitchen, at all. This afternoon, both my kids have a little friend over and everyone keeps begging me for popsicles and crackers and other snacks!
