2nd day of fasting...during office hour

I'm not a Muslim, neither is my husband to be! I'm not TRYING TO IMPRESS MY LOCAL BOSS OR MUSLIM COLLEAGUES TOO! I've been fasting during office hour for the past 2 days as I think I should since our coy shorten our office hour across the board for all staff! It's not easy not to eat or drink for 8 hours in office! I've tried and it's really tough. Dehydrated, hunger etc. Thus, it's a good time to test my patience and endurance! It's also a good way to detox myself and lose some weight :)..
Of coz, my company did not enforce that 'non muslim' are not supposed to eat or drink while our muslim colleagues were fasting. We're still allow to eat or drink in the pantry room with the door closed. I'm doing it for the sake of trying it, and understanding my counterparts' culture. I respect those who religiously fasted and I looked upon them! We may be of different religious, but I respect the perseverance of those who practiced it!
I've a question though.. I don't understand why are non-muslim allow to follow the working hours of muslim even though they are not fasting??!??? This privilege should be given to those who fast as they were really drained out, not those who still go on tea breaks, lunch breaks etc!
