Half an hour left before I break my fast

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 27 May 24

I had too much to eat yesterday that I thought I'd fast for at least 12 hours overnight and allow my usual biological processes to do their thing. I'm supposed to break the fast at 9 a.m. I don't really feel hungry...
