It's your mindset perhaps? Do you resent something in particular? Personally I make it an 'event'. After 4 of 5 days fasting, on the last day I go shopping and prepare myself something /special/ and in quantity!

Because, as you know, food never tastes as good as after a fast, the effect on the gustatory papillae is nothing short of amazing, it's like being high.

Seriously, HALF of the kick I get out of fasting is /that/ high I get when I stop :-)

Perhaps try to get into a 'Buddhist monk' personae if you feel any stress, and relax! I often tell (jokingly) people who wonder at me fasting that it's to improve my kung-fu! :-)
