Fasting is the practice of not eating "something" or a meal or several meals. You could consider this a sacrifice, obey or possibly a way to worship God.

If you agree with the definition above the first reference I can find in The Bible concerning this is when God forbid Adam to take from the tree of knowledge.

(Book of Genesis)

Otherwise there are many, many references to fasting in the Old Testament

Ultimate Origination: God
