Can A Guy Get A Coke?

So I'm only on the third day of this fast, and I'm already starting to get antsy.
It's like, I can't turn around without seeing a tall glass of lemonade.

Water has become my comfort, like chocolate to a pregnant lady (or any lady for that matter). Whenever I get that urge to slip up and go get fast food, or have a nice cold soda, or talk sexy to some random girl, I simply grab as many bottles of water as I can and start drinking until I'm too full to want to be bothered by anything else.

However, I must say that I've never felt more empowered in my life. The mere strive to remain disciplined has really caused me to take pride in all of my daily tasks. For instance, I am much more focused in my workouts; not to mention, I work out more (another stress-relieving comfort of mine). I am more awake throughout the day because I go to bed earlier. I spend more time with family. I am more attentive to the things that I need to get done throughout the day. And, most importantly, I am constantly and consistently improving my relationship with God.

I got baptized yesterday after an amazing church service. I thank God for my best friend Auston who was there to aid the process. It's such a blessing to have a best friend who is also the most possitive influence on my life. Being baptized was such an enriching experience. I can hardly put into words how amazing it is to feel so grounded within my spirituality. I finally feel like I am growing up, and coming into my own as a man of God.

Still, I can't help this urge to just down a nice, cold can of Hawaiian Punch. Lol I don't think you understand. I came home last night; And, for the second time in one day, I open the fridge to find a shelf full of cans of Hawaiian Punch. The first time, I was at Auston's house, and his dad came in from the store with all kinds of carbonated drinkage...

No, but honestly, I've never felt better in my life, than I do now. I know it's only been three days, but I am definitely going to make it through this fast. I am blessed with the support of my, long time, best friend and the most high God who answers all of my prayers.

Thus, in the words of Lil Wayne, "They can't stop me...even if they STOPPED me!!"
