Today is fast

Posted on Feb 27, 2006 at 10:07pm
Yeah that's right... today is fast. But not in the quick sense, in the lack of food sense.

I decided that I would take it upon myself to complete a 72 hour fast starting on Saturday night. It's now Monday night and man, I want food. Actually I thought that it would get progressively more difficult as the days went by, but it's just like a constant hunger. I think that your hunger peaks like a few hours after and then gradually decreases and levels off. So yeah, I'm hungry, but it's not like I can't stand it. But every time I think of, smell, hear, etc food it is harder.

Since last night was church and almost every night after church I do something afterwards that involves eating with a group of friends of mine, it was kinda difficult. We all went out to this pizza place, so there I was, watching everyone eating nice, juicy, greasy pizzas with their melted cheese, onions, ground beef, pepperoni. And I had to settle for a bottle of juice™. Holey, tomorrow after church, I shall eat until I exPLODE! Man... I can't wait.

Oh yeah, so I never esplained (yeah that's right, "esplained") why I am fasting. I'm doing it for my brother, mom and dad so that they all accept Christ. I pray that they do one day. Bahb said that fasting is a powerful weapon to use. I trust his judgement... or at least the judgement of the Bible! My dad just asked me if I wanted some shrimps, but well since I don't really want to have to tell him why I'm fasting I told him I didn't want any. I guess it's not REALLY lying. I want to eat them, but I don't want to break my fast. So uhm. Yeah, anyway I now have less than 24 hours. I can do it!

man.. being on day 3.. i know zactly what you mean.. but for some odd reason i actually like to go stand infront of the food i wont be eating and smell it and see it.. i dont know why.. in regards to the shrimp thing, i think it wouldve been ok to tell your dad you are fasting.. that way he can make fun of you for it.. but there it is.. he knows you fast, and you are committed to something greater. woot! i only have less than 54 hours to go!! yaay! hahah.. *sigh* its soo worth it tho.. isnt it?
