Just a note of encouragement to all Baha'i here that I hope you all have a very meaningful fast. I believe it starts tomorrow, correct?

Many good wishes and thoughts to the Bahai's during their fast.

May your resolve never waver, and may the days pass quickly

It does, and runs for 19 days (until March 20)! Thanks for the kind wishes all; and know that if you wish, you are all invited to join in ! --Steve--

I use to fast when I was a muslim, but I never really understood it though.

If you put some vitamin e in fast you would have a feast. Can you invite us to join in the "feast" on March 20th?

I feel like 'Tom Sawyer' seeking helpers to paint the fence... --Steve--

Not only the Muslim, but most of the ancient spiritual traditions recognize the importance of fasting, including the original Christians.
It has profound physical health benefits, and is extremely important to the physical purification process required to elevate one's state of consciousness. If you were to try it again, but preparing yourself with some research on the physical benefits to use as motivation, you might have a better experience.
There is nothing that benefits the body more than periodic fasting, and nothing feels better than the incredible clarity of mind and emotional serenity that results after 4 or 5 days of a juice-then-water-only fast. The first couple of days are not so enjoyable, though.
