Boredom sets in, or 'I need a life'

I find that the hardest thing to deal with while fasting, is the lack of things to do. I suppose that is my greatest challenge.

I usually have a good 3 hours a day devoted to eating, thinking about food, cooking and preparing food, and procuring food.

Often times, digesting food turns my mind off, and I'll blah around for another hour or two. Now, I'm "on" all the time, and there isn't enough to fill my mind. I have a very active mind.

I guess I need more of a life...


So today, I was bored all day; all I wanted to do was eat, because it was something to DO.
blah.

I like this quote from prof. Hilton Hotema:

"While totally abstaining from food might bring the greatest increase in perceptive intuition and inspiration, this seems to be an ideal to be kept in mind rather than a practical plan to advocate. But to reduce food consumption without filling the gap with something even more satisfying would be to create, before anything else, a disastrous vacuum of boredom and anxiety.

So, It's important at this point to emphasize how necessary it would be for the experimental researcher to compensate for the lessening intake of physical food by a proportionate increase in mental and imaginative interests."
