Day 62 ~ H2Oh!

Day 62 ~ H₂Oh!

Mar 3, 2014

My first: I took in nothing but water for the entire day.

I decided the night before to have a day where I just took in water, nothing else to drink OR eat. This is not to lose weight because I don’t need to and I’m smart enough to know that starving oneself is not the way to do it.

Luckily and coincidentally, I picked a day where I was very busy. Unfortunately, all three jobs that I went to during the day, I was offered food. Two of the three times I was tormented with the aroma surrounding those offers. But I was not tempted. I was determined to do this as my “first” and I think my stomach got the message. It cooperated so well, with hardly any gurgling or hunger pangs.

I really didn't dwell on starving people in Africa, probably because my hunger in no way came close to what those people suffer daily. And this was not some sort of fasting as a penance attempt. I just wanted to see what it was like to refrain from all of my daily oral seductions…and I’m just talking about food and drink, folks.

But as I said, my day was busy and my hands and mind were occupied with the jobs at hand. I went to bed hungry but not starving…many of us use that word so loosely. Really? Starving? If we are starving, it is probably not anything bodily, but rather spiritually. Let’s try feeding our spirits and forgo the McDonald’s now and again, shall we?
