Drinking Water...UGH

I know that I need to drink water, not only to lose weight but to keep water weight off.  I remember my mother telling me that I needed to drink 8 – 8oz glasses of water per day and then add another 8oz glass of water for every 10 pounds I need to lose.

As you’ve already read, I need to lose 90 pounds so I need to drink, in my mother’s eyes, 17 – 8oz glasses of water a day.  WHAT??  How much???  Ok, I’m thinking I’ll pop if I drink THAT much water.  Never mind going to the store, friend’s houses, and God forbid going to a football game.

Do I sound whiny?  Yes, I am.  I think water smells like dead worms.  The best way for me to get it into my body is to drink it from a bottle.  Who’s going to do that?  I’ll give you a break and stop whining now.  You don’t want to hear my whining, you want to hear how I’m doing, right?

Here goes…

If my scale is correct I’m at 8 pounds down.  Yay Water!  I may not like you, but I do think you are doing your job!  However, on another note:  Do not just eat 2 ounces of chicken for lunch and then not drink enough water between meals.  You WILL get grumpy and there is a good chance that you will try to chew your loved ones’ arms, legs, or face off.  After you do that, there’s a good chance you will overeat.

Someone remind me of that tomorrow during lunch.
