Final Post

I forgot to post my last post for the hunger challenge. I did the 24 hour challenge. On last Thursday at 7pm my hunger challenge ended. I satisfied my hunger with a chipotle burrito. I remember eating the burrito and it was probably the best one I've ever had. Although it was delicious, I couldn't manage to finish the entire thing. I find this embarrassing not being able to finish the burrito and a little emasculating.

Right after I finished my dinner I had hockey practice. I was more fatigued than usual and experience sharp pains in my stomach. Probably due to lack of water and food. Even though water was allowed to be drank I realized later in the day I wasn't drinking as many fluids as I usually do. Not being able to eat all day affected my performance in a negative way. For individuals who suffer from hunger daily probably have to deal with hunger impacting their ability to work.

Overall I was very interested by the hunger challenge. I was excited to do it and it was essentially what I had thought going into it. I felt the effects of going 24 hours without eating shortly after I started the fasting. Right when it was over I was able to replenish all the lost calories. Not being able to fulfill the calories on a daily basis could overtime lead to many problems in which we see in many developing countries. The 24 hours fast gave me a minor glimpse of what poor 3rd world countries have to do through on a daily basis.
