Completely irrelevant thread...but who gives a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I fasted 1 whole week


finally over


don't get me wrong, I'm glad I did it. It's helped me to finally see somethings I needed to figure out.

But, now it's time for a MEXICAN FEAST ala Taco Bell

thanks Kool COLBY!



:thumbup:

ahh shit sucks.. i used to wrestle for my high school, and trying to make weight and what-not, i'd have to crash diet/fast all the time.... i know how u feel brother

^^U ain't kiddin yo...ACtually, it was pretty easy every day except today...Man, I almost didn't make it today...lol


but yo...dat Taco Bell Chiptole burrito is slammin



ummmmmm

doubt i could do it.

Whyd you do that for?

You're fucking stupid

.......Awwwwwww, I love this guy ^

Always talkin shit.

whatta hoot eh kiddo?!

I'm stupid because I fasted? Do you even know what fasting is or why someone would fast? If not, keep your mouth closed.

I think he was talking to me?

and if he wasnt, fuck him anyway homeboy :Thumbup:

but for real, whyd you fast like that man?

Basically fasting is one way to clear your mind, especially if you're dealing with big issues that need full attention. I believe denying yourself of food strenghthens the spirit. It's more to it than that, but that's the basics.

i dont see how it would clear your mind since depriving your body of food would create less energy, which would in turn force your brain functions to slow...least that's how i see it

i suppose it makes you see REAL important things in life.

^^^important things in life eh??? food is the most important thing in life...hmm...how ironic

It's a spiritual principle. Food has an intoxicating effect on the body. Denying yourself food weakens the body, thereby heightening your spiritual awareness. It's a way to cleanse the mind, body, and soul.

Na, not living with food for a bvit allows you too think about real stuff...putting shitty things into perspective.

and food is not the most important thing in life. Food is necessary to live, but so is clothing. Would you say clothing is the most important thing in life? You'd freeze to death in some areas if you did not have on some type of clothing.



Elevate your mind dawg.

Yes I know what fasting is...why did you do it , if you need to fast to sort out problems then you need some serious help.

nah i was talkin to q

Jesus said in the bible, "some things come only by fasting and praying." I did it because there are some areas in my life I'm struggling with that I'm applying this principle to. It's my faith. Also, fasting does clear my mind. It's a personal thing for me. So, you don't have a right to sit here and say I need "serious" help when you don't know me.

food, water, shelter..blah blah...
in certain parts of the world you wouldnt need clothes..in EVERY part of the world, you need food, so food and water > clothing

and don't tell me to elevate my mind, please

If u value food that much, then u need to elevate your mind.


Point is, fasting is based on spiritual principles. So, if you don't believe it you just don't believe it. However, there are medical studies out that show moderate fasting is actually good for the body on occasion. Food is really devastating to our bodies when we abuse it or don't treat out bodies right. And, all the hormones they're feeding the cows--as well as other chemicals-- affect us as well. Fasting is a good way to cleanse the body and get alot of those toxins out.

ONE WEEK?! you know how fucking dangerous that is!? that doesn't strengthen shit. it makes you weak. it makes you go insane. you should be thankful for food and fucking eat it. kids in africa would do anything to be in your position, having food available to them when they need it. I can understand if some fat guy wants to "strenghten himself" by fasting for a day or two, but 1 week is a really bad idea.

shit not eating that'd be hard but if i could just drink water i'd be cool

Physically speaking, no, it's not healthy to do it as much as I did. But, again, we're talking faith and spiritual principle here. I believe I'm stronger spiritually because I sacrificed something so necessary to "live". I think the hardest part was not being able to exericse like I wanted to. There we times when I felt ice cold when the heat was on 80 in the house. Then, once I broke my fast after 6PM by eating, I'd feel warm again. That made me realize why Homeless people often drink so much. Alcohol makes u feel warm when u don't have food.


does that make any sense?


lol


P.S. Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.

And, I know I'm not Jesus. But, the point is, there's precedence for doing it and I have my reasons.

whatever floats your boat i guess =/

in conclusion, this thread has made me crave tacos

^^^Yes...and they were quite good.


eat to live...don't live to eat

soon my frend... soon. werd

bwahahahahahahaha

i would tell you to get a life but then youd be all

you ate after 6pm?

every day?

so basically you just went a week without eating breakfast or lunch?

thats not really that impressive...i do that almost every day...

Not quite...

In 5 days, I ate 4 times...and when u fast, there's other factors involved besides just not eating...So, if u know u normally go until 6 without eating, then your challenge would be to do something that's a sacrifice, go until 8 without eating...Better yet, go 3 full days without eating...For me, that was a challenge because I normally eat so much during the day. It's a personal thing.

^^P.S....I basically went 23 hours each time without eating

I'd go until 6, eat ONCE, then wouldn't eat until 6 the next day.

P.S.2 I didn't fast or post this to impress you or anyone...I was jus so happy to be able to end my fast successfully with some TACO BELL


lol

I just see denying yourself of something you need to survive as being compeltely idiotic. Only a fucking idiot would do it.

Well..considering All of the MUSLIM world does it, JESUS did it...and so do Millions of other Christians...I'd say most would disgaree with you, and so do I. I think your opinion is limited at best, ignorant at worst. It's part of spiritual belief. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. Nuff said.

Ya, I used to have to do that till I had to wrestle Heavyweight when I was only 220 and the people I wrestled had to cut weight in a 275 lb weight class. I got to eat whatever I wanted.

P.S....

From what I know, MOST MUSLIMS survive RAMADAN...Jesus survived his 40 day fast--which, incidentally was the start of his ministry--and I'm alive and well.


thank you

Wrong. Muslims don't eat from sunrise to sunset. After that they eat. And, you have zero proof that Jesus fasted.

And, on top of that, you didn't even fast completely. Just like the Muslims. You ate one time. During Ramadam Muslims eat one big meal after the sun goes down.. then continue "fasting."

I ate ONE MEAL after sunset and continued FASTING. I said that. The bible gives account of Jesus fasting, as well as Moses and most other prophets/religious figures in the bible. If you don't believe that, then why believe anything accounted in the bible? There are complete and partial fasts. I went until sunset every day. My fast was similar to what Muslims do during Ramadan. I've also fasted where I've gone the complete day without eating. So, what are you talking about?
