<\/p>\nMy apologies to everyone and anyone who ran into me on Friday, June 19. I was fasting that day. This is my fasting diary.<\/p>\n
[Excuse the moments of insanity, rage, delirium, incomprehension, gluttony, so on and so forth.] <\/p>\n
6:45 am<\/b> \u2013 I am awake for work, no espresso or water will be waiting for me but that\u2019s okay, 13 hours should be a breeze. <\/p>\n
7:40 am<\/b> \u2013 At the office, missing that sweet caress of hot espresso on my tongue.<\/p>\n
8:30 am<\/b> \u2013 Seriously contemplated having one espresso or Turkish coffee. I can do this, feeling very optimistic!! Channeling my inner Katniss. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
9:15 am<\/b> \u2013 Coworker is eating a croissant, giving him death stares as I type this. <\/p>\n
9:16 am<\/b> \u2013 If I had a choice between having spaghetti for hair or croissants for fingers I\u2019d choose the spaghetti hair. <\/p>\n
10:00 am<\/b> \u2013 Looking through Instagram for pictures of food. There\u2019s so much food in the world, there are so many opportunities for spinach-artichoke dips and margaritas. TEN HOURS LEFT, also known as five 2-hour blocks. <\/p>\n
12:00 pm<\/b> \u2013 I want ceviche. I need ceviche. When I die, cover my grave in ceviche so I can be happy one last time. <\/p>\n
12:20 pm<\/b> \u2013 I take back the ceviche\/grave thing. <\/p>\n
1:10 pm<\/b> \u2013 WHY DOES 1 PM LAST 170 HOURS? Seriously, someone alert scientists that the hours between 1 and 3 pm run way slower than the average hour. You guys, how has nobody studied this before?<\/p>\n
1:40 pm<\/b> \u2013 1 pm is a joke, fuck 1 pm to death.<\/p>\n
1:56 pm<\/b> \u2013 Having images of a smooth lungo coffee with like a side of a biscuit or a chocolate or something. I just drooled. This is embarrassing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
3:00 pm<\/b> \u2013 Pornographic images of pizzacheeseburgerlasagnachickenstripschickenstripschickenst <\/p>\n
3:10 pm<\/b> \u2013 If I could have one wish it would be a seafood spaghetti with clams and mussels, a side of seared scallops, an authentic carbonara with no cream, parma ham with melon, shiitake mushrooms in sea urchin sauce\u2026<\/p>\n
3:15 pm<\/b> \u2013 Still out of control on Instagram. Why don\u2019t we have In-N-Out in Lebanon? And Five Guys? AND WENDY\u2019S?? Junior Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe for life. <\/p>\n
3:30 pm<\/b> \u2013 Starting to feel delirious and wondering if Clive Owen is a top or a bottom in bed because he SEEMS top but would totally shock you by being a bottom?<\/p>\n
3:30 pm<\/b> \u2013 Realized I\u2019m not supposed to think about sex, I\u2019m in this to win this. Trying to stop but it\u2019s making me think of Lana Del Ray and like, is she a virgin? Because honestly she\u2019s way too stiff and awkward to spread her legs properly \u2013 will discuss post iftar. <\/p>\n
4:20 pm<\/b> \u2013 If I ate an entire chocolate cake with a shovel it would be considered disgusting and insane, but if I was naked while I did it, it would be performance art. That\u2019s the society we live in. <\/p>\n
5:30 pm<\/b> \u2013 This is normally my favorite time to have a black iced coffee the size of my head. I miss you black iced coffee RIP \ud83d\ude41 love you. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
5:40 pm<\/b> \u2013 Just got into a fight with my mother who told me to stop going into the kitchen to check on food.<\/p>\n
5:50 pm<\/b> \u2013 peace restored with mother.<\/p>\n
6:00 pm<\/b> \u2013 I can almost taste the cheese pastries, they\u2019re so near yet so far. Is this what WWII felt like? Probably identical. <\/p>\n
6:05 pm<\/b> \u2013 Just under two hours to go, I\u2019ll watch two episodes of Hannibal to help tide me over.<\/p>\n
6:30 pm<\/b> \u2013 Hannibal just cooked a man and I\u2019m finding that super appetizing to be honest. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
6:31 pm<\/b> \u2013 Would definitely try human liver if given the chance; just not mine because you know \u2013 alcohol. <\/p>\n
7:10 pm<\/b> \u2013 FORTY MINUTES TO GO. I am carefully planning what I\u2019m going to shove in my face as soon as the clock strikes 7:50. <\/p>\n
7:15 pm<\/b> \u2013 Holy shit I\u2019m going for the water, a gallon of it. Then French fries. Pastries. How can I incorporate Nutella-espresso brownies into this meal? <\/p>\n
7:40 pm<\/b> \u2013 Feeling v. creative at this point and feel like if I wrote a song to mussels marinara and told Taylor Swift it was about a guy we could probably both become billionaires off royalties?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
8:00 pm<\/b> \u2013 I\u2019m full. WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IS THIS? <\/p>\n
8:05 pm<\/b> \u2013 Thoroughly disappointed, wanted to eat an ocean worth of foods. <\/p>\n
8:06 pm<\/b> \u2013 The only other time I remember being this upset was when I dressed up like a princess for Halloween and my mother\u2019s friend asked if I was Bea from the Golden Girls. Good times. <\/p>\n
Ramadan Mubarak everyone, it was quite the experience. I hope everyone is having a great month.<\/big> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
