I don't do it religiously, but I'll abstain from various things from time to time and I guess I do this for the greater appreciation it motivates after the fact. That or to determine whether or not what I abstain from was ever all that beneficial in the first place. At the moment, I'm on a sex fast but this is mostly due to being more monogamously oriented than the alternatives to. I've fasted from eating meat, and I even tried to fast from sugar, but it only lasted a few agonizing hours. I'm accustomed to a more celibate lifestyle anyway and well ... I guess I'm ok with that. Religiously, I refuse to abstain but as a person who has found benefit in fasting, I choose to.
