I've done just shy of 2 weeks without food. I've never gone more than like 10 hours without water though, at least not while awake.
Fasting is fine. "Hunger" is usually anticipation of food. Once you push past the initial feeling it simply goes away.
Not drinking water sucks. Everything feels awful after a day without water.
