I cut out in between meal snacks and had less of a meal than I usually have. I agree that abstinence is almost too easy. Former veggie as well. We try to do it year round. Last year (pregnant) I did not eat less but I did not have sweets. A dear friend advised me to keep in mind the spirit of the fast in that way.anordinarylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439973304270717471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-71108233036758449992010-02-11T10:30:49.546-05:002010-02-11T10:30:49.546-05:00We were just talking about that last night!

I don't think you've ever had to!"<br /><br />I was pregnant, then nursing, then pregnant, and then nursing...four years in a row. So, I told him, "Well, I guess we'll find out this week or not if I'll be participating."<br /><br />Oh, how I would laugh if we found out we were expecting--right before Lent started! :-)Delenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893036321616359439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-75456286723822384882010-02-11T10:04:53.440-05:002010-02-11T10:04:53.440-05:00I will be doing an internet fast.

My hu...I now exactly what you're talking about. My husband absolutely forbids fasting for me while pregnant or nursing. And that encompasses pretty much our entire married life! lol! But there are many ways to fast. Many, many ways to die to ourselves and our selfishness without hurting ourselves or our babies. I have done cutting out junk food completely and that was good in so many ways! Other times I just have to eat what will stay down and that may mean a big bowl of ice cream:).melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.com
