I will freely admit that i have never had a spiritual experience resulting from fasting. I’m very happy that others apparently do, but i’d really like it if people would stop talking about fasting like it’s an inherently spiritual thing for everybody. For some of us* it’s a cross to be endured.
* Like, oh, to pick a group completely not at random, those of us with chronically low blood pressure…

I admit I have no testimony whatsoever of fasting.
Then again I have been forbidden from doing it by two doctors and my daughter has been forbidden from fasting as well by her doctor. That's because of the hypoglycemia we both have. Plus I'm currently nursing two kids.
(I actually like having a medical reason why I can't fast.)
I really enjoyed having medical reasons to abstain from fasting. We would also routinely forget because my husband worked nights and it just wasn't a realistic thing. He had to eat.
That said, now that we're more "stable" we still forget. And we don't really care.
But I'm a bad example, so what can I say? :D
