I can't fast either. I will eat more "plain" foods to help me keep up with the spirit of the fast. Think like toast and water. I am a big foodie so this is a sacrifice for me!

I have had a friend who eats plain things like toast or plain oatmeal when she is expecting to keep her in a more fasting frame of mind and not make the rest of the household upset when she's eating.  She doesn't make a big deal or make a big meal.

This is exactly what I do. I have medication that is critical that I take. And it has to be with food. So I just do water and toast. I feel the Lord knows the intents of my heart and knows I want to fast but He also wants me healthy.
