Today was a fasting day.
In everyday life its easy to get into routines: Cycling every morning, getting up at 6 AM, watching a series before going to bed, sitting at the same spot for dinner, having a whisky in the evening, having a coffee first thing, standing at my desk, listening to the radio in the cold shower, reading the Guardian, etc...
And yet I don't seem to be able to make fasting a "routine". Every time I fast its still an effort, it doesn't get easier (or harder to be fair). You would think that after a while it would become automatic but no I still miss food especially in the evening. It's not a question of pleasure because standing at my desk, taking cold showers or sitting in the same place at dinner are not particularly pleasurable, and yet they are easy to keep up. Smoking became a habit quite quickly as did giving up.
Maybe I should start smoking again to replace the eating, or I could do chewing tobacco (better for my lungs)!
