Breaking–Fast: 4.13

When I woke, I still felt that same sense of connection to my body, but something was missing. I knew fasting wasn’t going to be easy, but I still hoped. Here’s some truth: I have a complicated relationship with food. I have a gluten allergy, which is unfortunate since gluten is basically in everything. I had an eating disorder in high school, where I became a vegetarian to lose weight and ended up eating maybe once a day—french fries were my go-to of all things.
