The FastDay Forum

I'm sure I feed my family all the things I want to eat myself on fast days
I made them Steak pie chips and veg for dinner, then rocky road cheesecake and cookies and cream ice cream for afters.
Meanwhile I'm sat here with no calories left drooling at the things they are eating, why do I do it to myself
None of them have an ounce of weight to lose, they are all naturally slim . Woe is me

haha apparently I do it a bit too - my son pointed out to me that I often make him breakfast, and even sometimes school lunch, on fast days! (Though mostly I do outsource cooking dinner to one of my children on fast days).

@Janpartly - I really feel for you! I'm fortunate not to have children to feed and a husband who can fend for himself when I am on a fast day. Do you "virtually" eat what you are serving up???

I sort of zone out @madcatlady all I know is I give them for want of a better word "naughty food" on fast days. My daughter thinks I'm sub consciously trying to fatten them all up I don't hear them complaining though

Hi Jan
"I'm sure I feed my family all the things I want to eat myself on fast days" . I do understand what you are saying. Flip it! I'd start serving your perfect fast day dinners and put on the side some small extras for them. I think they will follow your lead!

Dear @Janpartly
Please come to my house and feed me when you are next on a fast day. I really really won't mind you making me steak pie and rocky road cheesecake. You would be very welcome and I am happy to make you a cup of tea whilst you cook.

A glass of wine and your on @minsmum
