H2O


I am addicted!

I don't know how many of you are aware that, practically, all I drink is water!!! I know, I am shocking some old high school friends that take a gander at this blog. Because, I used to only run on Dr. Pepper. (lol)

Yuck! I hate soda! I truly only drink water. Anytime I am out to dinner with my family, all I order is an ice water.

This makes it hard for when I feel like fast food. At a lot of fast food establishments, it is always cheaper to order the Value Meal. However, a lot of the fast food chains add more when you request a water, instead of the soda pop.

Anyway, this post is about H2O and about how much I love it!

I drink a lot of water. Daily! It is not unheard of for me to drink more than a gallon of water a day. (Maybe a lot isn't appropriate when referring to how much I drink)

I am constantly thirsty. I wake up, at the least - 3 times a night - to CHUG water. I usually end up having to get up at around 3am to re-fill my water bottle. And, I'd more than likely DIE of thirst if I did not have a full bottle of water next to me while I sleep.

I have been checked for low thyroid, diabetes, etc...etc...etc... for my excessive thirst. (all have come back negative)

However, this addiction to H2O is pretty bothersome for me. I constantly have dry, chapped lips, even after chugging a whole 32 oz's. My throat is also constantly dry and thirsty! And, the waking up numerous amounts of times during the night...DRIVES ME BANANAS!!

So....H2O....(or, more commonly know as WATER)...please just quench my thirst right away. Don't make me chug 32 oz's of you like I'm in the middle of the desert on a super dry, hot day! I need my beauty sleep! (trust me...I really do!)

Or maybe I need to be pleading to my body to just accept the water that I am in taking...

Hmmmmm...I don't know....all I know is that I started with a full 32 oz bottle of water at the begining of this post (10 min's ago) ... and I've been out of water for about 3 minutes now...and during those 3 minutes I have had to lick my lips about every 10 seconds because I am thirsty. That, and my mouth is sooooo dry!!!

I'm ending this post now........ I NEED WATER!!!!
