Made it through Week 1

Empathizing with the hungry: check. Though I can't imagine not having food. I can't imagine going to bed without food and waking up without food. During the middle of the day, every spare thought is "I'm hungry."
I'm still looking for the mantra that I can follow those thoughts with.

I'm curious about noticeable spiritual effects. I wonder if they'll happen if I my fasting isn't coupled with meditation of some kind.

And consumerism. I've become more conscious of it in recent months. Fasting seems like a natural extension of my attempts to consume fewer material goods.
