Hey, Christian friends... I have a question about fasting...?

I've been on a diet for over a week now, and I'm doing really well. I thought about doing a fast for weight loss, but then in my research, I realized the level of blessing that could be received. I'm far more interested in a blessing that will have me closer to God.

My only concern is, if I begin a fast, will my focus be on the weight, or on Him? I would like to think that it would be the latter, and weight loss would just be a bonus. But I'm not so sure.

Would a fast now during my diet be a bad idea? Should I wait and do two separate fasts? What do you guys think?

Update:

Geez... I can see how happy some people are this morning... Haha

    Diet is about being focused on the body.

    Fasting is about being focused on spirit.

    If you are trying to lose weight, you will be focusing on the fast to see how much weight you lose. Fasting should be for a purpose, a time of prayer, with no thought to how it will benefit you. I need to lose some weight too and I know right now if I fasted, I would be heading for the scales when the fast was done to see if I had lost any. That's not quite the proper attitude to have with a fast. Therefore I won't fast until I know I will be doing it for a very specific purpose.

    .1. Have you done any fast before now? If not; it may be wise to consult a doctor about it. Some may have physical problems. (Scriptures tell us to proceed on wise counsel).

    2. How long of a fast is one talking about currently?

    3. My present OPINION; do not try to combine fast and diet at the same time. Focus.

    Fasting at any point and for any reason is a bad idea. Doing it because you think an invisible man in the sky wants you to, doubly so.

    You're American right? Than you won't be able to fast in 30 minutes and still awake.

    ok, some examples: at the same time as we would desire to decide good from evil (works, impacts, messages, practices, etc.) we are instructed to not judgebelievers or carry them in charge to God's rules, that can in elementary terms be understood via people who're packed with the Holy Spirit. (examine a million Cor. 2:14-sixteen) as quickly as we determine blunders and the Holy Spirit activates us to easily right suited a brother or sister, we would desire to "communicate the actuality in love." We would desire to help one yet another in our stroll with God. (examine Eph. 4:14-15) considering the fact that in elementary terms God knows the guts of a individual, we won't be able to decide in spite of if the guy is saved (born of the Spirit) or not. "Jugdge not which you nay be judged. (Matt. 7:a million-2) while judging blunders, the concentration is on the act and coaching, not the guy. (Luke 6:35-37, 40-one-40 two)

    If God existed (which it probably doesn't), it probably wouldn't want you to do stupid crap to your body like fasting.
