Day 8 - The wafer thin mint

I think I broke my stomach.

Being home on the weekend with not much to do made the idea of eating quite exciting. After a scrumptious dinner of home made juice, two cheeseburgers and a brownie I sat down to watch a show and proceeded to eat a whole container of blackberries while I waited for the popcorn to be made. 

After the popcorn I started to become concerned: I had bought a sandwich Friday as I had to shoot some basketball and I would be there past sunset. The sandwich saved me from complete starvation while on assignment. 

Now I could have bought a single sandwich that cost $4 or I could have bought a three pack for $7. 

You see the dilemma don't you? The three pack was a better deal, which is what I went for. The problem I face is that I don't eat during the day right now and pretty much no-one else in the family would eat the sandwiches. So I either have to eat those sandwiches for breakfast or for dinner. But since there were other items on the menu for dinner I had what everyone else ate.

So here I was with a more than full belly already, it was quite tender I assure you, when I decided I better eat one of the two leftover sandwiches. I just didn't want to see them go to waste. Halfway through I started to get worried, and then when I ate the whole thing I was definitely quite concerned. 

I felt like some sort of helium filled balloon and the slightest prick would have me burst open. My wife tried to comfort me by rubbing my belly which was a near disaster. 

I'm still full from the ordeal and don't think I'll do that again any time soon.

"As to your question regarding the Fast: If there is any doubt in the mind of a person as to whether it will really be bad for that person's health to keep it, the best doctor's advice should be obtained. But generally speaking most people can keep it, anywhere in the world, with no detriment to their health. It is very good for the health and, once one forms the habit, each year it becomes easier to keep, unless one is rundown. No one is obliged to keep it if it really harms them."
