I think I started fasting for Gangaur and Teej festivals since age 13. Usually by then a lot of girls my age were told to start fasting to get a "good husband". While young girls or older women kept their fast by eating once a day or at least having fruits, I used to not even drink water until I saw the moon (for Teej puja). I think I did that all the way until my undergrad years.
