do you practice fasting?

Lenten season has just began. And one way that one can offer a sacrifice to God is fasting. What is your idea about fasting? When i was in my sophomore year in college, I joined a Charismatic organization in the University. It's a Catholic group that serve, praise and worship God in your own way, may it be through singing, dancing, etc. When I joined that organization, we were taught that fasting doesn't only refer to the food that we eat. It also pertains to abstain the things that you most love doing as a form of sacrifice to God. Their explanation was, not everyone are allowed to fast on food especially if they have ulcer or hyperacidity. Just like in my case, I have a hyperacidity, so I should not avoid eating food. What i can probably do is to lessen my habit in watching tv perhaps, or just abstain the things you like doing. And that's what i'm practicing when I do fasting. I usually pray first to ask God His enlightenment on what thing does He ask me to offer Him. I don't know with you guys if you practice or even believe the same belief and faith that I have. BUt I'm pretty sure you have also your own way and definition of fasting.
