I need me some FOOD!!


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...

  6. Oh 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.

    Good luck! I hope that this isn't something serious!

  10. I 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.
