Hello Chris @tiredchrisuk01, Welcome to Connect. I have never done a water only fast for 2 days let alone doing it for 7 days. I have been able to go longer and longer without solid food by starting slow with intermittent fasting. I did find a couple of sites for water fasting retreats in the UK but they were Devon area.
--- Waterfasting: https://waterfasting.uk/
--- Sura Detox: https://www.suradetox.co.uk/the-venue
I'm a little short on willpower sometimes too. Here are some tips that might help with improving your willpower.

One thing that helped me when I first started intermittent fasting was to do the 16 hour fasting with 8 hour eating window until I was able to do the 18 hour/6 hour plan. Then when that became easier I worked on the 20 hour fasting with 4 hour eating window until I could do it up to a week at a time.
Do you have any friends or family close by that can help you or can you try to gradually do the water fasting yourself and build up to seven days?

I am in a similar situation and live in East Lancashire and would be interested in offering mutual support to fast at home.
I am in my late 60s, female, morbidly obese with damaged knees. I am a compulsive eater and managed three days water only tasting last year without much effort. I just drank water whenever I felt hungry but did need to clear my kitchen cupboards of food before I started and not need to leave home for the whole time to avoid temptation.
I need to do it again, but am finding it hard to get back into the right frame of mind.
If you would be interested to private message me and talk about things, please feel free.
