Personally I am a boredom eater. I eat to fill time even when I'm not really all that hungry. Even though I am young and have stayed 120lbs when I need to cut back I keep busy.

What is Christians fasting?

This ranges as simply going without luxuries through to going without food (and sometimes even water) for a period of time. Fasting, as well as ceansing the body physically, helps to focus the mind and spirit onto more spiritual things. Jesus himself fasted in the wilderness before beginning his work on earth in order to focus his mind on the task ahead. This fasting in the wilderness is commemorated at the Church's season of Lent. During this time Christians reexamine their faith and tend to look carefully at their lives and their Christian journey. Fasting at this time can be anything from doing without the odd bar of chocolate, or glass of wine, through to a full blown fasting, eating only essential items in order to keep healthy - any money saved by not buying food sent to those parts of the world where famine and starvation are sadly more common. Thus fasting not only cleanses the body physically, but also helps the body spiritually, and can also help those who normally have insufficient to eat.
