What's the purpose in fasting!?

P.S. Jesus keep His fast for forty days and at the end of it was tempted by Satan. So please be careful. If you aren't strong enough for the tough stuff don't try unless you have solid spiritual direction.

I fast because I am supposed to for Ramadan, which is a month of fasting dedicated to God allowing Abraham's son to live, and giving him a goat instead. Fasting keeps me more aware of how lucky I am to have food every day, and everything else. You don't really lose weight, because when the fast is over for the day at sunset, you eat like a starved wolf. But it's a very spiritual experience.
