Fasting does not mean going without entirely!

You need to drink water, fruit and veggie juices, tea/herbal tea. Even moderate coffee won't hurt.

My suggestion because of work - have tomato soup. It's still liquid.

Another suggestion - a friend of mine cannot go without eating late afternoon or evening. She can starve all morning and most of the afternoon - but by dinnertime she has to eat. So for her to fast - she takes a maximum strength dexatrim about 3 in the afternoon to kill the craving and just drinks liquids.

Works for her - she won't take the pills all the time - she doesn't trust them - but she will use them for a fast during Lent.

I know what you mean about time flying by - it feels like the holiday just ended and we are heading into Lent!

argggggggggggg!!
