It is very easy when one does it with sincerity rather than just habit. I can't really explain it but I also find it difficult to go without food for more than a few hours especially while pregnant. However when I fast for Allah it is so easy! If I do feel hungry I think about all those people who have no choice and thank God that he gave me a choice not to eat even though he has given me plenty.
I always make sure I eat something heavy for suhoor and at least 1 pint or more of water. I eat lightly when breaking my fast for iftar and drink at least 1.5 litres of water.
Alhumdulilah I find it easy as long as I am well and able to do so. Although it becomes impossible if I am flying because of dehydration.
And it helps to have other muslims around doing the same thing too!
