How do you know your wife to be didnt fast?
February 22, 2013 2:56 am at 2:56 am #932088Torah613TorahParticipantNo, she’s slow.
February 22, 2013 3:09 am at 3:09 am #932089🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantAfter decades of rarely fasting, I find it so hard to fast now. Not that being pregnant was easier though . . .
February 22, 2013 3:18 am at 3:18 am #932090yeshivaworlderMemberi fasted. i find it to be a great way of incorporating some spirituality into my day-to-day life.
February 22, 2013 3:35 am at 3:35 am #932091WIYMemberHow can any woman pass up an opportunity that allows them to lose weight and get a mitzvah for it in the process?!
February 22, 2013 4:52 am at 4:52 am #932093ThePurpleOneMemberhonestly, i do noot think i loose weight fasting!! between eating be4 and eating tonz after.. bt i do feel good during the fast;)
February 22, 2013 4:52 am at 4:52 am #932094supermeMemberWhen they rake care of kids it’s noteasy!!
February 22, 2013 5:38 am at 5:38 am #932095🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantWIY – Unfortunately when you fast your body shuts down and stores everything just in case you don’t end up getting food in the near future. I usually hope to catch the flu, it’s much easier to lose weight that way.
February 22, 2013 6:28 am at 6:28 am #932096MammeleParticipantWiy: married women are hopefully not as obsessed with their weight as the girls you’re presumably dating…
Especially if they need to cook for Shabbos and Purim, finalize their mishloach manos, maybe work and do some shopping; plus have a hearty meal prepared for the men to break their fast on, all while taking care of their kids.
There’s a reason the prior sentence is run-on. There’s simply too much stuff to be done, mostly food related, never mind doing it all while basically dehydrated.

February 22, 2013 9:25 am at 9:25 am #932098takahmamashParticipantNope.
February 22, 2013 6:25 pm at 6:25 pm #932099anon1m0usParticipantForget the wife…i couldn’t fast

I hope my skinny Kallah to be gets nice and plump after the chassunah. Minimum 30 pounds weight gain (when not expecting). Happy now?
February 22, 2013 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm #932101MammeleParticipantWiy: that wasn’t my main point. You made it sound as if losing weight is the most important thing, then wondering why they don’t fast.
You can date skinny girls and they can remain skinny most of the time for all I care. Just remember there’s more to life, you actually want your wife to function as well. If it’s going to be very important to you that she fast on an “optional” fast day, feel free to do all her chores that day.
February 23, 2013 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #932102147ParticipantMy wife woke up this morning and saw Adar 13th on her calendar, so commenced fasting.
Later she saw it also said Shabbos next to Adar 13th on her calendar, so discontinued fasting.
February 24, 2013 2:54 am at 2:54 am #932103WIYMemberMammele
I was being humorous by the way in that post about women missing an opportunity to lose weight and it should have been obvious to you.
February 24, 2013 3:38 am at 3:38 am #932104☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNo, not today.
February 24, 2013 3:43 am at 3:43 am #932105ThePurpleOneMemberwhoa always thought wiy was married..
February 24, 2013 4:02 am at 4:02 am #932106Torah613TorahParticipantIf you interact with girls a lot, what WIY said was funny because plenty are happy to fast before Purim.
And I didn’t fast, I can’t fast and work.
February 24, 2013 7:21 am at 7:21 am #932107MammeleParticipantWiy: sorry I thought you were seriously mocking women’s weight issues….
Whatever, have a freilichen Purim!
February 25, 2013 3:06 am at 3:06 am #932108squeakParticipantDuring lent, yes, every day.
