I want to eat. I am feeling a bit hungry but I already ate 3 Weetixs with almond milk, shredded coconut, coconut oil and LSA. Maybe its because I've been running for a while.
Well I do need to fast, I just wont eat anymore until dinner time to make my mind focus on my hunger rather than something else and it will also weaken my nafs and strengthen my soul.
I was watching this YouTube video about a man who only eats once a day. He had some interesting points to say. He was saying that when you eat once a day you give your body a break and that your body's energy gets directed to healing rather than constantly digesting.

I realize that my hunger comes and goes and I can feel my nafs screaming to me;EAT!
But I don't think I really need to eat. I believe I just want something to fill me up whether it is physically or psychologically.
I realize that my life is mostly based on food and I am often thinking about what my next meal will be. What a life! I'm living to eat. When food is present to eat to live.
I need to do something that will get my mind off food. There is so much more to life. I need something that will make me feel complete and satisfied. I could eat myself to death if I let go of the reins.
What can I do?
1. Well firstly I can spend my time reciting Quran because it is only through the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala that hearts find rest. I need to really, really focus on what I am reading and not just read to get it done but read it slowly and pay attention to the words and try to work out the meaning. The Quran was sent as a guidance for us to read not a chore.
2. I can also pay more attention on my prayers. And do the same; recite the Quran slowly and think about the meaning. But I have a problem with the whispers of Shaytaan. The whispers that are about me losing my wudhu. It takes all my attention. I need thoughts to help me against the whispers.
Some example could be:
-They are only whispers from the Shaytaan.
-If you were to lose your Wudhu, you would know immediately.
-Allah Ta'ala is The Most Forgiving; so don't worry so intensively about your prayers not being accepted.
-If your Fardh prayers don't get accepted, you pray your Sunnahs and perhaps they will make up for your Fardh prayers and if your Sunnah prayers are not getting accepted, you pray Nafl and perhaps those will make up for all the others.
3. I can also write. When I feel the urge to eat just start writing my thought process and see where it leads me and I will discover the reason for my desire to eat though it is unnecessary. When I write I feel like I am taking off the burdens on my chest like when I am upset at someone and I tell them what is bothering me.
4. I can also make sure that I did all my Ibadah for the day. I can ask myself for example; "Did I do my zikr today?
5. I realize I often get the urge to eat when I have things to do. So the easy thing to do is just go ahead and do it.
