Fasting on fast Sunday's are hard for me. Well, let me take that back. Doing an actual fast for 2 full meals is hard for me. It's easier when I have church later in the afternoon because I sleep in super long and really only "fast" for a few hours and then I make myself something when I get home. But, having morning church and then fasting for two meals...I don't think I've ever done it before to be quite honest. Well, my daddy really wanted me to go to sacrament meeting with him this morning with my little brother. So, here I am, now on my bed, waiting for singles ward to start. And...I'm doing okay but with the smell of food from downstairs rising upstairs and making its ways through the cracks of my bedroom door...it's making it hard. One thing that I do to make it through the day is to chew fruity flavor gum...too bad I gave daddy-o the last piece - oh no, my stomach just did its first growl. But, one thing that I have learned over the years is that it is easier to fast when you have a purpose. To make sure that you do say a prayer before and after you fast or else, you're literally just starving yourself. I think because I am just chillin in my room waiting for time to pass by it's making it a challenge. But, hey! I got to get used to it. On my mission I'll have to fast every Sunday and I may even choose to fast on other days as well so this is good practice for me - doing it the whole 2 full meals and all. Well, time is approaching to leave so hopefully my stomach isn't a distraction to others today!
