I fast because I'm over 17 years old and the Church requires I do so on Ash wensday and every friday of lent. It also requires I give up something to "draw closer to God". Though I do it more because of tradition.
My mom requires us to hold eating off until 6pm. No meat, fish on Fridays.
I'm giving up swear words, my DS, and coffee. >.>
