My only problem with fasting (which is actually not the blame of the fasting itself) is circumstantial. I have yet to complete a fasting period for over four days, because I currently live with my family and they prepare the meals. On the weekend, it’s difficult to fast not so much anymore that I feel tempted by the food itself (even though my mother and grandmother are both excellent cooks) but because every Friday, we order takeout to eat and almost every Sunday, my household eats dinner with my grandparents. The meals are usually pretty heavy although taste really good, but it isn’t like I can’t turn down any meal if I set my mind to it. By myself, I have enough will-power but I don’t like to make a fuss about fasting in front of other people even though my mother is generally supportive of me doing it.

If anyone can return to me with advice on how to successfully fast over the weekend, thank you in advance.
