Re: Starting a fast today...first

We went out for a few dinners while I was fasting. Here's what I did:

I called the restaurant ahead and explained that I was on a strict fast for health reasons, but wanted to eat out with my hubby at their wonderful restaurant. Then I brought in a 20 oz. bottle of juice and they brought me a nice glass. I discreetly poured in the juice and sipped and talked while he ate. I really enjoyed the time with hubby (and once with the kids, too.)

On my last fast, the whole family, including in-laws met for lunch. I just had ice water with lemon, and I missed the food much more than when I had my juice or lemonade with me. From now on I'll always have a bottle of juice to keep me satisfied.
