[Lemuell]

Stomach issues?

 

[telekon]

I used to fast randomly for spiritual reasons and one time I did it, it just happened to be Ramadan. I didn't know that and my mom was so angry because she thought that I was becoming Muslim. Good times.

might sound dumb, going on a diet

1. don't say anything.

2. your stomach hurts / you've been feeling sick.

3. if you aren't religious this will be super suspicious and I don't recommend it if what I just said applies to you, but religious fasts are a thing too, of course.

4. don't recommend this one either if you happen to have an eating disorder they know of, you're dieting.

- Not feeling well.
- Having had dinner with friends.
- Trying a new diet.
- Taking the food to your room to eat it there, but actually throwing it away.
- Feeling tired and sleepy

There are lots of possible excuses. But it depends on your parents and circumstances. After all, you would just need to pass on 1 meal after all, not like days without food.

Do you have to explain? Maybe say you already ate or just don't be home at the typical dinner time?

i usually pull the "im not hungry" trick, but you have to say it as genuinely as possible. at worst theyll think you have stomach issues which could steer them away from other suspicions

i only fast during ramadan and doing it during Ramadan honestly feels wrong
