so my goal for the day was just to get the fluid in me. I have always had a hard time drinking water and filling up one of those big jugs just seemed so daunting to me and worked against me. Today I focused on just drinking 1 16.9 oz small bottle and when that was gone I focused again on just the one 16.9 oz bottle, these small accomplishments worked. before I knew it i had drank 5 of them before noon. and now I know how to do this. I will focus on one smaller achievable goal, and then the next and then next and so on, I have always been my own worse enemy, now I think I will be my own cheering section.

Sign in to CommentI also wanted to share that I reached another milestone yesterday at work. I had spinal surgery on April 12 of this year; prior to that I had put on 100 lbs to my already 200 lb frame bringing me to 300 which coupled with my "osteo" and a cyst that grew on my spinal cord pretty much made physical activity impossible for me. OK the point being after only 3 months and no physical therapy yet I managed to walk up 32 steps at work. I have not taken a stair case in over 1 year and It was amazing.
Parker thank you so much for that comment and support, I have not really had to much support in this journey prior to this and it helps to have the support of everyone else here that is going thru this with me. I wish you the best of luck in getting more water into your diet.
Great job Gigi! I can relate to your post. I am my own worst enemy as well and getting down the water is a struggle since half of my body weight in oz that is suggested is A LOT! Keep up the great work all of those victories add up!
