Only Two More Hours!

I've been fasting since 5pm yesterday. I ate a big early dinner yesterday, so last night wasn't too bad until around 10pm, when I started feeling a little hungry. I actually got up from my desk where I was studying to go to the kitchen to get a snack before remembering that I was fasting. This fast has fallen on a pretty busy day for me (poor planning on my part), and I have found it somewhat difficult to focus on anything. I always eat breakfast, so I started feeling really hungry almost as soon as I woke up. The feeling has come in and out in waves. I was actually hungrier around the time I eat lunch than I am now, although I can't stop thinking about what I'm going to eat when I get home. This challenge helps me empathize with people in food-insecure situations. To us, it seems like people in developing nations should be able to help themselves in a lot of ways. But when you're hungry, it's hard to do anything, much less go to school and work.
