An interesting post on why to fast and what to fast from: food, sex and money.
A young woman discussing whether fasting is right for her. It was well written and we hope it all works out for her:
After some research and deliberation I have decided to start fasting. Why fast in the first place? Well for a variety of reasons actually. Let me start by saying that I don’t recall ever going a single 24 hours without food in my life. That may make me seem spoiled or weak but it’s true. When I was a teenager I was very skinny and I would literally get dizzy when I hadn’t eaten for most of the day. Since then it’s been a matter of pride that no matter my financial status I am always able to eat well. And eat well I have, often without regard for health, convenience, or common sense. In order to make sure it is not a frivolous act, I first did some research and then set the intent.
