I am doing this for almost 10 years now. This was my pledged to God to cleanse my soul from sins.I am not perfect. I am always praying that I could survive without eating of rice, meat, and other foods during my fasting days.Other members in our family do not care to fast.I just drink water and coffee.This lunch here at home my sister cooks friend chicken ,fried fish, beef steak and other foods. I am thankful, I do not feel like attempting to eat those. I am also happy for having the strength to do Mylotting despite no eating.
What about you? Are you fasting this Holy Week?

We only eat light foods, like this lunch we only have cold water melon shake and a slice of mango with sticky rice. As I said, I'll go with my boys, I can sacrifice for their diet but they can't skip meal because they're both diabetics.

It is good that you are fasting. I am not fasting, I think if I did that I would be bad off sick, since I am bad diabetic.

@cacay1 Oh I see.. so you mean just reducing how much you eat is also fasting? I could cut back, but not cut it out. It would have me in a coma.

@slund2041, Oh no, my friend, don't fast, you need to eat for you take medicine after meal. You can do an act that does not require you to fast.Reducing food intake could also mean fasting.Take care.

@slund2041 , I ate nothing during breakfast and lunch only at dinner. I used to this for almost 10 years now. Treasure your health , I understand you are taking some medicine and it require\s meal first before taking it.

I admire that your faith and discipline is strong to fast even though there's a heap of temptation around you. We don't practice fasting here, so I've never been through that hardship.
