It might be possible I am allergic to water. Why else could it be so incredibly difficult for me to drink the damn stuff? Take this moment for example, I know I need water, I know I need to increase my milk supply (that was apparent after Austin gulped down two bottles of formula tonight after he had dried me up like a prune in the August sun) and I know my water bottle sits half full on the table in the other room. A logical person would think I would get up and get it, but this is the exact case every single day. I let it sit, walk by it, stare it down, and NEVER drink it. That is until right before I go to bed, feel guilty, and take a few chugs. Ok, one, two, three...I went and got it. I even took a few sips.
Maybe it's because I don't really believe water does anything for you. Milk makes your bones strong, coffee makes me happy, but what does water DO?
I told the guy massaging me a week ago that I don't like to drink water and he wanted me to google "Pani Prayog." I did. The website talks about water therapy and how it will cure just about anything, then at the end, it says it will even cure "uneasiness." What the hell? Good thing to throw that in just in case nobody sees their sickness healed, they could always claim they feel less uneasy.
Basically, water therapy is the practice of drinking 1.25 litres of water within 5 to 10 minutes of waking up. You are supposed to do it before anything else. The massage guy told me I shouldn't even go tend to the baby. Yeah buddy, that would go over great with the cutie who just found his screaming voice. Nice and peaceful morning water with the background noise of blood curlding screams. No thank you.
I will start trying to drink water in the morning. If anything, it will give me a nice head start to the day. I figure I need to give this the best shot I have or Austin will find himself permanently on formula with a shriveled woman he should call mom. You can be sure that I won't be holding off on brewing that coffee for two hours though!
Anybody out there that would care to list the benefits of water? Ones that don't promise it will make me less uneasy?

Hmm, this is very odd because I remember when i was sick you were focing water down my throat bouting off about the wonderful health effects, and now I find out that you don't believe it and were just being cruel? Thanks.
Being hydrated makes your skin look younger. Boooyah.
I have much better luck when I start with a cup of tea in the morning. I have more success drinking water throughout the day if I started with a tea because I feel ahead of the curve instead of behind it, like I'm trying to catch up.
Ha! I just went to read the "water therapy" site and it starts by saying not to drink morning tea! Pfffffff.
Whatever.
Well, I can sympathize with you dear!! I don't really like it either, but if you put some fresh lemon in, it's better. I do find that I much prefer it with that Propel powder though. How about putting in some instant iced tea?
What can it do for you? Well, try to visualize your kidneys getting clean, and your blood flowing thru your arteries smoothly, and your skin cells being nice and plump, and those boobs making good milk for the Cutie!!
Love,
Mom
I don't really buy into the whole water thing, but I don't really buy into too many things. You're thirsty, have a drink, what's so difficult about that.
I hear drinking more water makes you have multiple orgasms.
FINALLY! A reason worth paying attention to ;)
Put some sliced cucumber in it so you feel like you're at the spa.
