    The stupid practice comment, I really got the impression that he meant a sports practice, but I could be way wrong.

    I only hate one thing during Ramadan. Like at aftar, when its time to eat, you eat a whole bunch because you're hungry, and like 10 minutes after you're done you become full, and there's no space in your stomach for dinner. So its like you go hungry like the whole day, in 10 minutes, you get full. I am trying to eat less at aftar, and eat dinner also so I can maintain my weight and not get hungry.

    My friend on my basketball team when he had to fast during Ramadan, I always thought the hardest part was not drinking water, especially because our practices were intense and everyone would sweat like crazy.

    I think if I had to do something like Ramadan during 2 hour basketball practices, I would be accidentally licking my lips just out of thirst.

    I fast on Yom Kippur, which is for 24 hours for anyone who doesn't know. It's really tough, but the Ramaddan seems very hard too.

    You can't tell how much the water/gatorade helps you while you're playing basketball til you're fasting one day and you can't drink.

    Oh, and CHYEA - I got 100 posts .. now i can post in here [​IMG]

    Yeah...see. The less you think about hunger, the better it is for you. Do any of you guys go to Taraweeh too? (evening prayer)

    You don't eat Iftar at dinner time? Me and my family eat dinner when it's Iftar.
