Fasting Buddy Wanted; Fasting for Spirituality and To Lose Weight

Hello Everyone:

Today is ash Wednesday and it is my first day of a 40 water fast. I just got back home from mass. I am Roman Catholic but have not been practicing for YEARS. Today was the first time that I have attended the ash ceremony in longer than I can even remember.

I felt that it would be very symbolic and that it would be a good way to start off. I am posting today because I am sure that the coming days, though positive, will inevitably have a few bumps in the road.

So I would love to find a fasting buddy. I am doing this to have a deeper sense of spirituality, to lose weight - but mostly to have a complete understanding of myself... "before you can know anything in this world you must first know yourself." That is what I plan to do.

If there is anyone out there fasting for lent I would love to hear from you. My goal is 40 days of water... if there is anyone doing the same my contact is tree3top@hotmail.com

Hope to hear from you...
