Fasting

Well since I didnt do anything for lent I agreed to take part in a 24 hour fast. Any tips for making it through the day?

dont think about food.

Thats kinda what I need help with :D

Lots of water, and stay away from fragent foods and watching the Food Network. Do anything to keep your mind off it, and go to bed early.

play video games or go online, it works for me. as long as im gaming, i dont eat,sleep, or anything else.

Oh god I'm hungry...

*goes and gets some lunch*

:D

Twenty-four hours? That's easy. You're going to sleep eight of those hours anyway.

Or, if you're like me, twelve of those hours.

Well I would like to say good luck. I have tried to fast before but it didn’t work. It’s really heard on the mind. Because for me everything I thought about some how got it's way to food. And it’s also hard to drink water if you are use to drinking soda all of the time.
But, I would like to say good luck, try not to worry about is so much

Chew gum.

I fasted for 23 hours once, to see if I could do it (*coughs* was supposed to be 24 but I didn't feel like it:P)

I craved all sorts of stuff I normally wouldn't. I actually wanted real barbecue, something I hate.

And by evening, I was holding a cucumber, just sorta petting it X.x;;;

by the time it got to be 23 hours, I decided to have a big huge bag of popcorn so that I would feel like eating, but it wasn't as good as I thought.

So the next morning, scared I'd go all anorexic, I made myself eat a doughnut and a lot of other stuffX.x;;;

So, chew gum, try to get people to do it with you, DON'T GIVE IN (I felt so bad about not lasting another hour^_^) and remember to ake yourself eat afterwards.

You mean fasting as in your alowd to drink diluting jucie and water my freind done tht for a week think he collapsed eventually once morning at shool :)

most important advice I could give u is keep yourself busy...
dont think u r fasting just pretend like its a normal day...
I do 5 fast in a month...its not that hard...

Sit your ass in front of a good video game, and think about depressing things. When I'm depressed I am just not hungry. Once I was depressed enough to go for seven days without feeling like eating at all.

And, of course, drink plenty of water.

I hope you're receiving lots of sponsor money for this.

Good luck.
