Salaam alaiykum ya'll,

This is my first Ramadan so it is going to be interesting. My wife (a Catholic) woke up early just to cook me breakfast so that I could eat before the sun came up. Oddly enough the lack of food & cigarettes (as I am a smoker) is not that hard but the not drinking anything portion is really difficult so far. Insha'Allah I will get through it all.

Well I will holla at ya'll in a bit. Gotta cruise up to the masjid for Jumma.

p.s.
free Dixie! (insha'Allah)

May Allah keep you strong this Ramadan. Seems like you have a very supportive wife if she got up early to cook for you - be thankful to Allah for things like this because not all of us have this support network during Ramadan.

alsamo alykom,

mostly the first few days will be the most difficult (3-5), while, very soon our bodies will accomodate to the lack of water and food. i believe a normal human can bear lack of water for 3-4 days and lack of food for more than a week.

may Allah bestow his mercy over all of you and help us to clear and purify the intention to him

Well there is like snack food.... fruits, chips, nuts, etc. and then there is real food like whole meals.

Also, hamd'Allah I made it through another day and this past day I was at work. ( I work in Garden Center of a local Wal-Mart )

I have noticed that when it gets like thirty minutes until sunset the hunger really starts to set in but throughout the rest of the day it is kind of subsided.

As-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh

Yes, you can eat real food, i.e. whole meals, as long as it is halal.
