Ugh, this is such a constant problem with boys and men.
case in point, my youngest brother… we have to force him to eat -
i literally place the cereals or omelets and a glass of milk next to him as he is trying very hard to wake up for sehri and he is 20.
& then i have a friend of mine, who is 29, and he, too, cannot get himself to eat, in fact ‘he does not feel like eating’ for a 12+ hour long fast. & he works 12+ hours, too.
my dear, special angels won’t come down to drag you out of your slumber, to softly feed you or make you go to the food with excitement. so there.
well, my recommendations: it is true that getting up so early in the morning is not quiet their virtue. yet, it has to be done, so why not do it, whole heartedly. hmm?
when u get up for sehri, eat something which is most nutritious and u like eating it. so it does not feel that u are ‘pushing’ food down ur throat, mere eating for the sake of fast. & sleep on time the night before, so that u get up well before sehri to prepare and eat & also be able to sip at tea or coffee.
sehri is a part of fasting, so it is to be observed as a proper beginning of the fast.
anybody else would like to share any suggestions for properly taking sehri, or stories which might make me feel a bit better that other females also feel that men they know, are lazy spoiled people. ha ha
& we obedient, nice, god- fearing young women (if not all, at least many), not only fix the sehri, but eat sehri like an ibadat. :>
chime.
