I'm amazed at how my mental abilities just shut down while I was fasting. I literally couldn't concentrate on anything. It wasn't because all I could think about was food either. Without energy, my body was just all lethargic and my mind completely unfocussed. I guess I understand now why they say eating is important and not eating is a bad way to lose weight. Aside from being irritable and otherwise feeling unpleasant, you literally have problems functioning.
I did eat at midnight. I'm not sure if that's ok, or if you're not supposed to eat until you wake up afterwards, but I couldn't go to bed hungry. I've done that before. I wake up feeling more lethargic and can't function all day. Tomorrow I need to do homework, so not being awake all day was not a possibility. But at least I did it! A lent fast! One day was totally enough for me too, I can't imagine doing this every friday for lent.
Two posts left for me. I'm going to post on Sunday since I've been doing that all along. Woo! Then I can have soda again...I'm just not sure I want to anymore. Giving it up was probably good for me.
