I've decided my bread and water fasting just hasn't been working out around here. My job gives me very little control over what I eat and very little free time to plan and prepare what I need for myself. For a while, I tried "one meal" fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, but that tended to turn into "after sundown" fasting, which translated to "gorge myself in the dark." I needed something different, that was manageable and still felt like fasting. So, I decided to give up "sweets."
Sweets is a nebulous category that I'm loosely defining as "candy, cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, and the coup de grace: ice cream." I've debated a bit about special occasions
It is common to dedicate a fast to an intention. I dedicate this year without chocolate to my search for a husband.
