any strategies on staying on course in ramadan? a whole month of fasting where there is no food or drink from sunrise to sunset. and here in NY the sun sets around 8:30 9:00... i get up for work at 6am thats14 hrs of nothing, and when its time to eat every night is a massive feast where the whole family gets together, (kinda contradictive to the point of ramadan really)... i dont think ill get in any exercise at all either! god i hope i dont gain weight that month.. every year except last year i did.

    I find that going and praying isha and a few rakas of taraweh really help me stay focus on the purpose of ramadan, and when I come home im usually very tired.. I do love my giant family gatherings and all that food but like you said gorging seems like it defeats the purpose..
