This weekend I participated in my very first 30 hour famine. It definatly makes you think. I was so hungry by the end. I can't imagine being hungry all the time.
Not only did I do the 30 hour famine but I also went on the bible study retreat. It was a good weekend, but it was extremely hard. Instead of staying with the rest of the group that were doing the famine I decided to go away. So, while I just sat drank my water and juice which was totally fine, everyone else was eating, constantly snacking. Sometimes it was kind of funny because diffferent people would go on and on about how good something was and then look at me and then catch themselves and appoligize.
I think the last two hours were the worst, because I knew it was soon over and I was so hungry. When the time was up I really thought I was going to eat a lot but I didn't. I wonder why that is? Afterwards I was so excited because I didn't have to miss out on eating smores. It was also nice actually being able to actually eat with everyone in the group instead of just watching them.
Even though it was a good weekend, I think next time I am going to stick with the group that is also doing the famine not only because of the support but also because everyone is not eating, and there really isn't as much pressure.
