Weight Loss - Update 1

It’s been a week already since I started my experiment of adding water to my diet.  Are you wondering how I’ve done?  Me too, let’s have a look!

Over the week, I have averaged at least 60 to 70 ounces of water every day.  With this, I’ve noticed some obvious and some not-so-obvious changes in my routine:

• As expected, I’m taking a lot more bathroom breaks than before.
• Since I’m having to get up more often anyway, I’m also noticing an increase in my walking activity.
• The addition of water seems to have me snacking less often that I did before.

However, there is a downside:  Rather than lose a little weight as I had hoped, I’ve actually gained a pound over the last week.  I’m really frustrated by this.

My theory is that perhaps I was a bit dehydrated, and my body is just retaining some of the water that I’ve been flushing through it.  It might take a little while for me to adjust to this new system.  At least that’s what I hope it is.  I’m fat enough as it is, I don’t really intend on losing any more ground than I have.

I’m still a bit embarrassed to go out in public.  I know that there’s bigger people than me, but I’m having a real issue with this, and am determined to bring sexy back to my body.  Failure is just not an option at this point.
