Funny story about fasting...

Well...I think it's kinda funny. One time the High School Pastor was going to teach about fasting and decided he was going to fast before he gave his presentation. I was helping him out at the time and he asked me if I would fast with him. It was for three days and it would be a fast of food, water was the only thing we could have. I agreed and we started after talking about fasting a little bit. At the time I worked at a pizza place and it was making this whole thing extremely hard because it was good pizza. On the third day, almost there, I was cutting a pizza up to be served and a GIGANTIC piece of the pizza popped into my mouth from the pizza cutter. I froze. I didn't know what to do. It had been three days since I had anything to eat and I had been so good. Now there was this HUGE piece of pizza in my mouth, I could taste peporoni, tomato sauce, ham...what were the odds of this. I must've stood there for about a minute, my mouth open, just staring not knowing what to do. Finally somebody yelled at me to get going so I looked around to see if anyone was looking and began to chew. It wouldn't have mattered if anyone saw because nobody knew I was fasting. I felt so bad and the Pastor got a good kick out of it, at the time I really didn't understand what fasting was about but now that I have a little more understanding I always smile when I think of that time I failed at fasting.

I love it! :D :D

I haven't been on this forum before, and yours was the first post I read. I'm glad to see fasting doesn't reduce humour!

I'm off to look for tips ; haven't tried this for a few years, since tummy troubles etc., but feel it'a time I got into it. Serious prayer issues.

God bless, Susana

Hahaha, yes, I've had that problem before when fasting. You are so use to just doing it that you completely forget that you're fasting and pop some food in your mouth. As soon as it hits your tongue, your mind goes "FREEZE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!"

I actually use to have dreams of eatting food and feeling guilty about it when I was fasting. Then I'd wake up and be like "Woah, thank God it was just a dream."
