  • Water, the more I drink the more I crave it. Anyone else have this happen?

    It's odd, I never really drank that much water before, but now that I'm drinking about 100 ounces a day I find the more I drink, the more my body craves it.

    Anyone else have that happen?

      LOL, boy do I know that one. I'll be thirsty and not want to get out of bed.
      It's the 1am bladder calls that annoy me the most if I drink water at night.

        I've definitely had that happen, and all the potty stops get to be crazy at first. Just think.. the more you go, the more yucky stuff is flushed out! I crave it a lot still, I don't think that part goes away!

          They say though that most people don't get enough water, AND when that happens your body's natural thirst mechanism pretty much ceases. Well, dang if it didn't go into over drive when I started drinking water. LMAO.

            I go to bed with a nalgene (32oz) bottle next to the bed.

              Sounds like me.

              lol. Once I had so many water bottles by my bed you would have sworn I'd opened up a store. LMAO.

              I finally found a nice 64 ounch water container that I tend to keep with me also. My aunt swears one of these days I'm going to float away. lol

                Ha! Sounds exactly like what's going on in this house. My husband actually commented that the last time he saw me pee this much at night was when I was pregnant.

                I assured him he had nothing to worry about. LMAO.

                      Oh you should hear me!!!! I have been known to tear my BF head off if he happens to drink from it, move it, or throw it away cause "there was only a tiny bit left"!!!!

                        LMAO.
                        I have to say, I'm bad about that also with my son. I've got a Two Liter container (64 oz), that I use so that I can easily measure out how much I drink. BUT, then here comes my son, thirsty no less, who desided that since the water has ice floating in it he's going to help himself. LOL. Boy, does he get fussed at. lol.

                        I have plastic drink jugs and bottles I fill up, but a day or so later they are all empty. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I'm glad to see my son drink water. It used to be he wouldn't touch the stuff. I'm more than happy to refill the jugs as much as they need to be.

                          I for one need a bigger water bottle! I like the BIG ones I only have to drink 3 or 4 bottles of to finish the day, or less. I don't know why, but it seems so DAUNTING a task when you have to drink 8 bottles!

                            I'm so glad you posted this thread! I thought I was loosing my mind. Swapping one addiciton (carbs) for another - water!! I'm soooo thirsty all the time! But the good news is that my bathroom is upstairs, so all those trips to the loo are also getting me moving!

                            I'm on Day 7 of induction and thought it was an induction thing only, but I take it from all the posts that I've got this for the duration!

                              Yes! Water is great for you, and keeps more than just your bladder healthy!

                              You're not losing your mind at all. It's great that it also gets you moving up those stairs!
