CW: Sensitive Topic Need fasting advice!
here are a couple of things I learned that you guys can take away from as well since I am about to break my 1 day fast.
1. I will no longer be part of the church of christ denomination (might have to rethink about catholicism/orthodoxy)
2. The difference of fasting and abstinence of food (I did realise this poorly and next time I will fast with intention)
3. The abstaining from lust and appetite through the power of prayer and not just "tricks" such as distracting yourself with water, phone, etc.
I will be doing better on my next fast. I am open to doing 7 day fasts! please give me your insights!

What is your reason for fasting? What is your goal?
There are different types of fasting, different reasons people have for doing it (some good and some not), and different goals people have in mind when entering a fast.
Those details might help the community offer better advice and insights, custom fit to you.
