Charlene, why would you go on a fast knowing you had a trip to Europe?
I always fast this time of year!
In America, I have very strong willpower.
How am I supposed to say "No" in all these languages?!
Very simple, Charlene, those European languages are very different from American, having a different root language. So in Italy and Spain you need to say ‘si’, France is ‘oui’, Germany is ‘Ja’… It looks like the opposite of No but it really means no, really, just like in that old film, the gods must be crazy. Bon appêtit.

Go to Brussels, it was easy to say no to the Moule frites

How can you see the rest of us with your nose so high in the air?

if you’re in Paris, try doing the entire Louvre in a week. You’ll need to give up food and sleep to accomplish that.

Would it have killed her to do this fast AFTER her trip to Europe?

It’s pretty easy… “no” is mostly universal, especially through European languages. ;-)

And since many Europeans speak English, it shouldn’t be so difficult. However, if you are in Europe, how could you not eat the different cuisines?

I would want to eat but watch portion size.

Eating different foods is THE best reason to travel!!
