| When I get the urge to the 8 glasses a day thing, I just take my big jug of water and go sit on the pot for the day, 'cause I'm not gonna be able to get more than 5 feet away before I have to go again. But I do feel better when I drink more water.

| I try to, but it is hard during the school year. I, like the kids, have scheduled breaks. But unlike the kids, I can't just excuse myself to go to the bathroom. Plus, my classroom is one of the farthest from the office.

| I drink well over 8 glasses of water a day. Because of the meds I'm on, they dry out my mouth so I drink lots of water. Plus, it just makes me feel better when I do. 'The elixer of life' hubby calls it. |

| I don't really know how much water I drink, but I'm sure it's over 8 glasses/day. I guess that's because water is the only thing that I like to drink. I agree with the person that posted about water being the only thing that quenches her thirst. If I drink a coke or even juice, I'm still thirsty.

| I try everyday. It's a huge struggle for me. I have a 32 oz cup that I use(bought from Weight Watchers) I fill it up everyday and sometimes I drink the whole thing other days just 8 oz's. The majority of the time I get half ways through it. I have to admit going going to the bathroom is such pain, but in the long run it's for the best!

| I drink at least 8 glasses, probably more like 10-12 EVERY DAY. I don't drink pop at all, rarely drink juice. I do like an occasional ice tea and I need my morning cup of coffee. Other than water, the only other beverage I drink is club soda with lemon juice and then only about 1/2 a very small bottle. But, I have always been a water drinker, I prefer it cold, but I'll drink it at room temp also. There is a yoga practice that is thousands of years old that involves chugging 1 1/2 liters of room temp purified water immediately upon rising in the morning every day. I did this for about 2 years before I got out of the habit - something about needing to take a little Yorkie out before I do anything else - but what a difference it made in my skin, hair and nails as well as keeping the weight down. Your body will get used to the increased water intake in about a week and the urination will return to normal. For all of you using "diet" products, be aware that you can easily develop issues from regular aspartame. If you are prone to autoimmune disorders, migraines, or have any mental health issues, aspartame should be completely off limits as many studies have shown that aspartame makes all these symptoms worse. Many neurological problems have cleared up simply by eliminating aspartame from the system!!

| You get used to the water - also, not everbody needs 8 glasses a day - You might need to cut back to 5 and then build up slowly if you can. When I begain Weight Watcher's, one of the things they stressed is that you have to take your own body's needs into consideration. For example, some people just need more carbs than others, and others need more protein. I love WW because I was never hungey and never felt uncomfortable. I don't see why you should either - Maybe your kidneys can't deal with that much water. Maybe you should think about cutting back and see if you lose weight. I lost 30 pounds on WW about 5 years ago, and have since modified it to suit my lifestyle and needs and have maintained that weight loss. Good luck - it's as hard thing to commit to a diet. Judy |
