    After decades of rarely fasting, I find it so hard to fast now. Not that being pregnant was easier though . . .

    i fasted. i find it to be a great way of incorporating some spirituality into my day-to-day life.

    How can any woman pass up an opportunity that allows them to lose weight and get a mitzvah for it in the process?!

    WIY – 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.

    Wiy: 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.

    I hope my skinny Kallah to be gets nice and plump after the chassunah. Minimum 30 pounds weight gain (when not expecting). Happy now?

    Wiy: 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.

    My 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.

    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.

    If 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.

    Wiy: sorry I thought you were seriously mocking women’s weight issues….

    Whatever, have a freilichen Purim!
