I fast for ~20 hour periods on accident pretty regularly. It goes something like this.

Eat dinner at 9pm
Go to bed at 12am
Insomnia until 7am
Sleep until 3pm
Finally get around to eating at 5pm

Coincidentally this is also why my sleep schedule is horrible.

this is pretty much how i am when nobody wakes me up

If I don't eat for long enough I just stop being hungry for the rest of the day. It's not too hard going a few days without food. I fasted for a week once and it took one tablespoon of tomato soup to fill me up, I had to ween myself back on food.

In about 3 hours I'll have gone a full 24 and have myself some soup.  As of now I'm hungry, but not pressingly so; boredom hunger is a greater threat to my success than actual hunger right now.  So I guess I'll go find something to divert myself far enough from any convenient source of food to deter my failure.

I forgot to eat last weekend
it helps that I stopped feeling hunger a few years ago

what
i want some explanation



why are you dumb enough to not eat


purposefully not allowing yourself to eat, even though you are hungry, for 24 hours is just really dumb
a true test of willpower would be allowing yourself to sacrifice 12 virgins to allah


fasting isn't healthy
Perhaps.  But either way it's not something I do very often or for very long.  And if I did do it with any frequency, hormesis could arguably kick in.  I trust the ill effects, particularly in the long term, to be minimal.
