I have been trying to figure out my fluid retention issues. I am starting to think that sometimes I just drink too much water! I think that’s why my weight can fluctuate so much in a day. I understand the whole drink more water to flush water but… I dunno.. I am starting to think that is not always the case.
Technically for my weight, I would need around 75 ounces of water.. So say.. 5 bottles of water. I am sure that I get close to a gallon of water a day. Sometimes I just down a bottle of water at one time.. (especially if I put a little of my crystal light packet in it)... I constantly go to the bathroom some days..
But do I REALLY need to be doing this?? – I am starting to think, NO! I think that as long as I get my 70 ounces in, I don’t need to constantly drown myself in water. Throughout my weightloss journey, I have seen the craziest things on the scale... I can go up or down 5-8 pounds in ONE DAY! That's just ridiculous to me!
I am not a big sodium person. I do not add extra salt to my meals and I try to choose low sodium food items when I can.
Anyway, I am just wondering...
What is your weight?
How much water do you drink in a day?
Do you drink plain water only or add crystal light?
Are you constantly forcing yourself to drink water throughout the day?
Do you see huge fluctuations on the scale?
THANKS!!
