Have you ever fasted before? How was your experience? Was it for religious purposes or health purposes?

Have you ever fasted before? How was your experience?
On my first fasting, I fasted for 3 days 12 am to 12 pm and my eye see double.
The first day, it was very difficult but I was determined to go through it. Around 4 pm, I kept looking at the clock waiting for the end of the fast. I'll glance at the clock after a while and it's still 10 mins past four. I had to check the time on my phone to see if it was correct and it was. I nearly cried.
I realize that taking a look at the clock every five mins won't help my "situation", so I decided to distract myself by reading a book I bought days before. But I kept re-reading the same page over and over again, because my mind wasn't there.
Finally, I decided to continue with my work and pretend the hunger wasn't there. It got me through eventually and I prayed in the end.
The next two days, it was easier than the first. My body must have made changes due to the lack of food.
