Not thirsty?
 
Anyone else have to force themselves to drink or try and remember that you're supposed to be drinking water on a regular basis? I am very rarely thirsty and have to make myself drink. (I only wish I had the same problem with being hungry)

Some days, I am like you, and barely get my minimum amount of water in. I know it isn't enough though, because those are the days I tend to eat more, and less induction-friendly things.
Other days, I can't get enough water, and feel like I'm going to float away. Yesterday, for example, I was incredibly thirsty, and ended up drinking 2 gallons of water.
My rule for hunger (because my stomach doesn't growl- I don't feel hunger pangs like a normal person) is that before I eat anything, I drink a minimum of 8 ounces of water. Often, I'm just thirsty, but mistake it for hunger.

I found myself being a lot more thirsty this week during the day, perhaps due to my body getting rid of the excess water weight. I also had to rush to the restroom more at work which is at a large high school. Two times I had to leave my class and make it to the faculty restroom, but I have a feeling I should get a small can of Lysol or something so I can just go to the female students' restroom which is close by my classroom. It's amazing how filthy those girls can make the stalls by 10:00 a.m. LOL

I use a 32 oz container for my water (which is usually iced green tea) and lug it around with me everywhere. Unfortunately, it is clear plastic and horribly tea stained but when I wear brown I'm totally coordinated! On most days get close to 96 ozs of liquid and for me the key is keeping it ice cold.

Our bodies often confuse hunger and thirst. The next time you find yourself feeling hungry, have a glass of water. Give it 15-20 minutes. If you're still "hungry", assume it's genuine hunger instead of a need for more hydration.
