Fasting - how to survive the first three days?

Hi, I want to go on a 21-40 day fast. Unlike my other fast this is a conscious decision (without spiritual association). The reason I am doing this fast is to heal my mind, body and spirit. I am so tired of being overweight. I am 100kg and 5ft4/163cm.
I want to learn how to love myself etc etc. I’m almost at 14 hours and I am determined. I am not physically hungry just mentally. This is what I am trying to rid myself of. Slavery to food and emotional eating. This is war! Any tips and advice?

The advice would be to stop the fast. If you do lose weight, statistically you'll gain it back and more. It's also very unhealthy. Detoxes and fasts do nothing to make your body healthier and, in fact, can throw off the balance of all kinds of hormones.

Find a high protein low carb eating plan and stick to it. Don't sever your relationship with food - redefine it. And every study indicates that exercise is as or more important than what you put into your body. Good luck.

@Graylight brilliantly stated. And true. I hope she needs your advice.
