Fasting is never easy, especially on the first day. One woman recently gave the internet a good laugh after sharing her Chinese husband's first attempt at fasting, and let's just say it didnt go exactly as planned.
In a video posted by @mem.besau, she revealed that her husband was determined to try fasting for the very first time. Full of confidence in the morning, he began the day with high spirits. But by the time noon rolled around, the struggle was already real. Instead of powering through as he had imagined, he was completely knocked out on the couch, fast asleep before the day had even properly begun.
The hilarious part? The rest of the family now has to tiptoe around the house, eating and drinking in secret as if they have a little kid learning how to fast for the first time. From sneaky sips of water to quiet snack breaks, the situation quickly turned into a lighthearted family moment.
While many seasoned fasters can relate to the exhaustion and headaches that sometimes come with the first day, this wholesome moment reminds everyone that trying something new, especially a religious or cultural practice, takes effort and patience. Even if it means accidentally dozing off before lunchtime.
Safe to say, the internet agrees: the first-day fasting struggle is very, very real.
