Just finished fasting. I must say, I don't think I have ever been this hungry before in my life. Having to go 24 hours without food or something to drink, besides water, makes me really appreciate that I have the ability to eat and drink when ever I want. I feel that we take for granted that we have access to so many options of food. I sympathize more for people without access but there is no way I can understand what they go through on day to day basis and how strong their will is to survive.
It seemed that all day today I have heard some kind of references about food, which really made me that much hungrier and I must admit this was harder to do than I expected. Now thinking about it, the other options for the food challenge didn't seem that bad. I'm pretty positive that I have been more tired throughout the day and not as productive as usual. Not sure if I am more hungry than I am tired or vise versa, which is kind of odd. My friend told me that he would bring me left over pizza from Pazzo's but knowing him he will either forget it or eat it. He still isn't back yet so I'm sure he forgot all about it. Regardless of how hungry I am, I think I am going to extend my fast a tad bit longer to 32 hours just so I can start the day with a big breakfast at 8am. Will definitely be eating some of my roommates bacon just for not bringing the pizza like he promised. He has that one coming to him.
Overall the experience of fasting was definitely an interesting one and a much tougher feat that it sounds. Now that mine is finished I feel that I have a new found respect for the less fortunate and wish there was something I could do to solve their hunger issues.
