Hi Everyone! I'm going to finally try posting on here after reading the Golden Girl threads almost daily for several months. (Just have to keep checking in to see what all the G.G.'s are up to!) I read Bobbi's post about drinking water & losing weight, & wondered if that has anything to do with what's going on with me.
In Sept. or Oct. there was a challenge on here about doing 4 things every day for a month. I thought I'd try it, but the only one of the 4 I picked, that I was at all consistant with, was to drink at least 60 oz. of water every day. At that time I was down to about 190lbs. (from 250lbs. in June of 2009), & was mainly concentrating on maintenance. For some reason, I've always been good at losing weight, but never really tried to maintain it. Of course I wanted to lose more weight, but I wasn't really trying. Anyway, I've continued drinking the water, even gotten sort of obsessive about it! I drink at least a 24oz. glass of water first thing in the morning, & before I eat anything - snack or meal, & whenever I feel the least bit hungry. I'm sure I drink at least 120 oz. of water every day, probably more, & I've never liked water!
I'm now down to 167lbs., & I've pretty much lost the urge to overeat all the time. I'm 54yrs. old, & my weight has only been in the 160's 3 or 4 times in my whole adult life (& never stayed there more than a week or 2), & I've always struggled with overeating. This is not like me! I like it, but I'm afraid it won't last. Could it be the water??!!!
