I agree. If it helps you do it, if it doesn't don't. But those of us that are helped by it are not helped solely because of some crazy placebo effect. There really is some evidence that it helps some people.

I bet it has a lot to do with why you overeat. I really have an insatiable appetite and an addiction to the feeling of "fullness" and so water is the best way for me to fill up my stomach without putting calories or diet soda into me.

To get in extra steps. After I go. I walk up to the next floor to the other side of the building and take the stairs down then back to my office. I try to do this every time I go to the bathroom. I figure it all adds up.
