Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 it's funny because I was always told- drink 2 glasses before a meal, will make you fuller faster. however, water before a meal does nothing for me, and in fact makes me slightly nauseous... now that i do IE, I find that I am most thirsty after a meal. So Since I wasnt liking water, I found that I ended up having junk or other foods--eating due to thirst! Thats not eating due to hunger. anyway today in Target a bought a "bobble" its a cute water bottle with a filter attached, so everything you drink gets filtered. I have a Brita; thats what we all drink, but this Bobble makes the water way better! Im so happy! Also since I am breastfeeding, if I don't drink, my baby doesnt have enough milk, so i really do have to force myself.. but i will also be trying everyone's tea suggestions, fruit, splash of juice, etc sima To: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 8:54 PMSubject: Re: Do I Hate water??? Is it possible that this is your body/brain rebelling against all those years of being told to fill up on water so you wouldn't eat too much? Abby I can't drink the water where I live, so I got a filter for the faucet and tried a pitcher too. Both were ok but $. I'm not sure if bottled water is better. Some of the super markets have a dispenser to refill your own bottles. Cheaper. I have tried adding a little lemon, or orange or lime and that's pretty good. But I really like water, just not the water in my town. Sandy Hey everyone... something strange has happened since I have been discovering what I really like to eat (and drink). I think I don't like water. OMG. In my diet days I gulped it down like a camel, like 12 cups a day. Whn I drink water I literally make a face, it tastes so weird. I'm really upset about this because I think water is amazing and it's important to love it. The problem is that often at night I am thirsty but dont want to drink water so I end up eating because I dont feel that sense of completeness that u get after drinking water after your meal. What should I do? Could it be I dont like the taste of the water where I live? I use a Brita pitcher to filter... May be I should start buying bottled water? But so expensive... but the bottled water tastes better to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 > hi paddy- do you mean squash like zucchini?? No, LOL. That must be a language difference from across the pond I mean flavouring that you add to water, such as concentrated orange, blackcurrant, and so on.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just for the information, it took my body four whole months after stopping breastfeeding, which I had doing pretty much continuously for four years, to realize that I no longer needed all that extra food, but if you Re breastfeeding, you definitely need it.
