An Observation before starting 7-11 of dry fasting after a long time

Something that I have observed after 2 -3 years on this dry fasting journey is that even after you have completed dry fasting of 2-3 days minimum and extended fasting of 7-9 days and above etc and try to go back to an extended fast after a long time and even with all the situations aligned for you ; the habit of holding back or intentionally shortening the fast or even completing , the cycles of reefed where one either indulges or restricts and try to be fully strict essentially going from 1 to 100 seems to happen due to the mind or the Spirit fearing the unknown or just not wanting to deal with the new responsibilities that come along with the new state of being that you have occupied .
The fear of being a new self even if the new self is something that is greater for you due to you having been in the earlier state and environment for so long that it’s comfortable .

I am open to opinions and want to know if everyone else here has experienced this to some degree or the other.
