Fasting to be Romantic
Mr. NYC Casa is
quite an interesting character. In New York, I seemed to have different
opinions of him or perhaps his behaviour changes being in a Muslim
country. He started to fast two days a
week, which is what Muslims are supposed to do according to Islam. He fasts Mondays and Thursdays and therefore
to be romantic- I decided to fast with him on Thursday. I did this for 3 weeks
in a row. The first Thursday- I cheated and ate a grapefruit and then we broke
the fast together. The second week I ate 10 almonds and the third week and I
ate a few raw carrots.
He is
disappointed with my cheating and eating the few things I did, but he does not
understand that food is my biggest comfort and weakness. This fasting is good
for me, not just him, because it builds strength and mind power over food. Although,
I do think it is quite romantic and sweet. It sometimes seems like nothing is
ever good enough for him. It is pretty much like I am dating my father, which I
tell him and he does not like, but it is the truth. Freud says,
We end up with someone who is similar to our
father....
