Today I am "fasting" for a minor medical procedure because I'm not supposed to eat anything before hand. Fasting, that word just makes me hungry. In my Church, we try to fast and pray at least monthly for various things....personal or others. It's in the scriptures. It's also a good practice of mind and spirit over body, it's effective for some. It's not effective for me, I guess I'm just not humble like that...instead of focusing on what I should be fasting for I end of thinking of food and getting migraines and just being all out miserable. I can't seem to get the whole mind over body thing. My body makes the rules. I am admittedly weak.
Today I really have no choice, and I am just plain hungry. I curse you gluten! It is all your fault! On the plus side, I can have clear liquids which includes cola go figure...God bless this day! At least I don't have to go without my beloved diet cherry coke...
I hope it is nothing serious... and AMEN to diet cherry coke. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope all is good!
ReplyDeleteI NEVER fast unless forced to. That would explain a few things...
Oh what I wouldn't GIVE for coke to make caffeine free Cherry Coke.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with your procedure!
I have never been a good faster. My hubby is so I feel guilty for not being good at it. So I feel like a little kid again sneaking things out of the pantry!
ReplyDeletewell as long as you can get your soda... that is one thing i would have a hard time giving up.
ReplyDeleteOh dear you. I can do a lot of things. I'm pretty tough that way. Until it comes to fasting and i am a big baby. I whine, I make myself crazy as well as anybody within a 2mile radius.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope that this isn't something serious!
I don't usually enjoy fasting unless I have a really REALLY good reason. I agree that it is realy really har to fast!
ReplyDeleteI was never good at fasting either and once my blood sugar dropped...here came the migraine! I guess I'm not humble like that either! :) You're not alone. I hope your procedures goes well and that you treat yourself to an awesome meal afterwards and savor the very first bite...it is always the best! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteWe fast for Lent. Thank you so much for your prayers this week~
ReplyDeleteI am a hard person to love when I am fasting. Because I am so DARN CRANKY! Low blood sugar brings my temper to a fast boil. I want to be good at fasting. But instead I stuff my face as soon as I get home from church.
