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.
