Who would have thought a huge fat man would ever love fasting?

I'll admit I'm hooked and will probably end up doing some form of this for the rest of my life. Beyond the potential health/diet benefits of it, it does a few things for me:
1) Allows me quite a bit of leeway and freedom in what I eat on non-fast days. While I don't necessarily think I should kill a 12 pack of Krispy Kremes, I know I can without completely blowing my calories for the week.
2) Provides a focus and discipline during the week. Like I said, I know how anorexics feel, as sick as that is. There's a level of control and focus that I get when I fast for a day. While it's not difficult to fast any longer, I still get a good feeling at the end of the day when I break my fast.
