Hunger Challenge- Its over Part 3

Finally, the fast is over, but I am not as excited as I thought I would be, because I have no energy to be excited. I thought about going to Qdoba (again) but then I was told not to have a huge meal right after fasting, so currently I am just eating some oatmeal and grapes to try to fill my stomach up a little bit first, then have an actually meal couple hours later.

This was very different than my previous experience of fasting because I actually have stuff to do like going to class and doing homework. Whereas last time I did it, even though it was 6 hours longer, it was during the weekend and I was hanging out with people who are also fasting, so it was more encouraging. I really thought I was going die this morning as my stomach was making all kinds of noises and I felt like I was about to collapse on my way to classes. I couldn't focus during class because the whole time I was just staring at the clock and thinking about what I was going to eat after I am done. I even made a "rap" for my previous post cause I was so out of it and wanted to do something else other than thinking about being done. All I have had this whole day was water and an apple juice.

Overall, this was a pretty interesting way to experience what it is like to starve, I couldn't imagine how much more difficult it is for the people living in the 3rd world countries, as they could go on days without food. It is a bit easier for me because I know that I will be able to eat after 24 hours, but that is not the case for those people, because they don't even know when there will be food available for them to eat. I never thought about cheating during the fast, but having my roommates purposely coming into my room with food (knowing that I am fasting), acting like they want to talk me definitely didn't help. This was an unforgettable way to experience what it would be like living in a 3rd world country.
