My kids like fish sticks. I can’t stand the grease.
For me, it’s a bigger penance to put on the big, meatless meal ... fish, pasta, sauce, salad, bread ... that my husband considers “penitential” than it would be to have toast and water. I’m a former anorexic, so I can turn the switch in my head and just stop eating, if I want to, but the results aren’t the best thing for my family, no matter how much I’d like to be so thin I have to stand twice in the same place to cast a shadow.
