Did I break the fast?

[RileyG]

Hi all,

Last night, I was hungry so I ate ramen noodles after midnight with a few cocktails. It was TECHNICALLY early Friday morning.

Did I break the fast or should I just let it go?

I don't want to be too legalistic about it.

God bless!

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

It was after midnight. I would not worry about it too much.

My advice may be harmful but if you think you broke the food fast, could you fast from "something else" as a substitute?

I only had one meal today. I think I'm good.

Yeah, it's 6.5 hours until midnight here in the Midwest (Central time zone).

This feels lame but since I've been told that an anemic person doesn't have to fast from food, I did what was probably the most chinsy fast, to not use FB or Reddit for 24 hours Still waiting for midnight. It feels cliche to fast from social media but I wasn't creative.

I’m sure God is pleased with you! Don’t be so hard on yourself! Take care!

I couldn’t fast this Lent as far as food goes.

I think I'm just not good at it either. I also don't want to need to take an anti-nausea drug in order to not feel nauseous from fasting.

You can always ask your priest, if you want.

I actually did, last year. He told me not to worry about food fasting because of anemia. Another priest, however, told me the year prior that I should try, in spite of how bad it makes me feel, but I don't remember if I told him about the anemia.

If there are health issues, you are not under any fasting obligations.
