What can I drink besides water?

Re: What can I drink besides water?

Probably because your intial question read like you are not drinking any water because you dont like it and were looking for permission to substitute it with the flavoured ones!!

Had you written this as well

you might have received congratulations on getting that water down you as well as the suggestions you did get

Heh amusing. I'm very appreciative for the PM's of support /suggestions that I did receive. I see why my friend who posted here previously said that she felt a negative vibe. I won't write too long a post but I will say that seeing as how most of you all have been through these experiences you should realize that things are hard for lots of people. Therefore if someone feels attacked then you can't hold them accountable completely for those feelings. As someone said in a PM "they mean well but they come off really cruel at times". I'll also mention that saying something like "break the habit" is one of the rudest things I've ever read on a support forum. If it was simple to just break habits then I'm guessing the world would be a much better place Also I prolly wouldn't own the hundreds of shoes that I do

Thanks anyway,

Hello anyanka, she-bunny-fearer!

Have you tried a few drops of oil of oregano in your water? Girl, it's an acquired taste, but it's pretty awesome. I'd give it a shot. It's flavorliciousness wrapped up in non-guilty-happy. Aside from that, ooo is a fungicide Dr A recommends in the book.

*laugh* that sounds odd but I'll try it! Bunnies EEEK! lol

Cleo's been pushing that oil or oregano for quite a while. I recently found some in a health food store...I might have to give it a taste....

*protects Anyanka from the bunnies* There there. It is ok. We're in the bunny-lancing business. And they taste terrific.


megs-- the ooo starts out tasting manky, but you quickly get used to it. I add about a drop for every 8 ounces.

Re: What can I drink besides water?

breaking bad habits is what Atkins is all about. Everybody here has habits that they needed to break to be an atkins success. i had a 24 can a day Soda habit, other have coffee by the gallon habits they need to break as just a few examples.
we break our habit of being addicted to carbs and having to have bread potatoes and/or pasta
we break our low fat is good for us habits and embrace the healthy fats Dr Atkins tells us to eat.
We break our sweetner habits by following the 3 servings a day limits starting in induction
we break our sit on our butts and get bigger habits by following Dr Atkins plan and doing the exercise part of our Atkins even if we think we are too out of shape to do any.

So Cleo does this mean you have broken your DC habit with ooo and water?

*whew* thanks for the help with those nasty bunnies and (off topic) remember SERENITY!

I went to the store tonight and got some. I actually already like the taste of it. Thank you so much!

Re: What can I drink besides water?

I had a really hard time drinking water until I realized i need to drink it at room temp or just below... I can't get anything colder down in the necessary amounts. I can drink a 24 oz bottle of room temp water in a few gulps. It would take me all day ,or at least until it got warmenough, to drink the same bottle of cold water. I did find a recipe for hot chocolate that I tried yesterday because i jsut camje off themountain after an 8 hour shift and it was COLD and just needed omething to warm me up besides broth.... it does use all your cream and splenda for the day.....but it tasted better than swiss miss. here is the recipe....

Karin's Cocoa

2 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
2 Tbs Splenda
dash of salt
4oz whipping cream
4oz water
1/4 tsp vanilla
Mix dry ingrediants together, heat liquids in coffee cup, when heated add dry ingrediants to heated liquids, mix and enjoy. I figure this has approx. 2g carbs. Tastes better than the real thing!

Re: What can I drink besides water?

I'm loving the closet fangirliness of this post.

As for my water suggestion - I make VERY weak tea! That helps because it requires little to no sweetner, and because it perks up the water just a bit. I do mainly herbal teas or green tea, but I like black as well, though I'm conscious of the caffeine.

Good luck to you, Anya.

oh I just picked mine up and *faint* Commentary by THE MAN is included *faint*

A good tip someone pm'd me was

Hey! I know what it's like to be confined to your desk all day. Here's a good tip---Sit your waterbottle right on your desk and your flavored drinks further away. So if you are drinking lots then it'll atleast be really good for you!

The Man. No mere mortal, indeed. He is the uber-alles. The beginning and the end. He is all that is well-written and delivered with perfect timing. All that which gives random quote generators at fansites their raison d'etre. All that makes people look at buttmonkeys in a whole new way. No one could ever replace that wit, that character, that fascination with all things uncommon. He's that cool.

Why does it feel like im being attacked and not supported? Regardless I'm a writer so I can't exactly knit while at my computer.

Do you wanna know why?

Have a look at this thread by cleochatra and you'll find a wonderful answer!

Oh Cleo I'm not sure I could have said it better. Except I have but face I would add

"but regardless of all those words. The man simply rocks."
