My schedule has been so unpredictable lately it’s difficult to find a regular day on which to fast, so I’ve decided to have only 2 meals each day and not have any lunch. To get me through the day, I’m going to be having a proper cooked breakfast in the morning.
Purists say you should only drink water on a fast but I drink weak tea.
I have fasted the last 2 Mondays in a row. It was quite easy – I didn’t feel hungry at all.
I fasted from Thursday dinner to Friday and didn’t feel at all hungry. I wouldn’t have eaten dinner today except I had my sister come round and had to cook for her.
but wound up having fries around 8 pm. I’m beginning to wonder if fasting is really a good idea for despite all the stated benefits. I have had eating problems in the past, and I really don’t want to get stuck into that again.
OOh Aah, I’ve just learned I’m invited to a tea on Friday morning. Should I switch to another morning this week? OTOH, those dear ladies are apt to bring along piles of ham snadwiches, homemade cookies, and other things I should not be eating.
though I once did a 3 week fast, the only way I could get through it was endless coffee drinking. Friday is now my official fast day.
a book about fasting which says it is a good way to overcome addictions, so I’ll start tomorrow and give up drinking tea.
of all the pounds I’d lose! Actually it’s not so much for weight loss as spiritual reasons. I used to fast every Monday and felt much better then. I really did get close to God.
