Hi,
"Rabbi Yosi said: An individual is not permitted to cause himself to suffer through extra fasting, lest he need the aid of others who will not help him.
"Rav Yehudah cited Rav, saying: What is Rabbi Yosi's reason? It is written, 'And man became a living spirit' - Keep this soul, which I have invested in you, alive."
(Talmud, Taanit 22b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
