Starting Line

Better late than never! My initial intentions were to eat only $2/day but unfortunately that ended at buffalo wild wings  yesterday in the middle of a shift for the pool company I work part time for. Being outdoors and half soaked with water on a day where the high was 34 degrees, pushed me to a point where one can of tuna and a quarter cup of rice just was not going to cut it. That being said, I'm starting my 24 hour famine as of 3:00pm EST. Quite honestly I am not sure what to expect at this point, seeing this is the first time I have ever intentionally not eaten for 24 hours. (What I do know right now is this pumpkin pie is phenomenal). Sure I have forgotten to eat for 24 hours after a wild night out, or during a stress filled finals week but food was not exactly on the forefront of my mind. Now that I am intentionally avoiding food for the next 24 hours I wonder how much of my day will be spent thinking about food? How will my productivity change? Will my attitude towards others change? Will I sleep more or less tonight? In reflecting on this experience will I gain a true insight of what millions struggle with hunger everyday or will I continue on a brazen trail of American Consumerism that plagues even the strongest of minds? Really these questions will be answered in what I like to think will be a "brief" 24 hours. What I am most certainly sure of is that I will have something deliciously greasy and filling waiting at the finish line. I'll post an update 16 hours into the fast.
