It's my fast today? vs I am fasting today?

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I am fasting today' is the more common, natural way to express that you are abstaining from food for religious or health reasons. 'It's my fast today' could be used in a more poetic or literary context to convey the same meaning. In most cases, these phrases would not have a question mark at the end.
