The third time you say it, you are holding a sign above your head that says, "I am clueless."
Not only should we observe moderation with food, but we must also abstain from every other sin so that just as we fast with our stomach, we should fast with our tongue.

Similarly, arms and legs should be restrained from doing any evil acts.
