Well, I might try that. All water diet- only food allowed is chocolate. Works for me!

Hey Everyone! :)
My wife is diabetic and she was always told to drink lot's of water. She would literally drink 2 gallons a day, because her skin would be dry and she would just crave it.
Last time she was in the hospital (almost two years ago) the docs told her that she was drowning herself, they told her that driking so much water without consuming it in one form or another was doing her more harm than good.
They also dismissed the notion that diabectics NEED more water than anyone else. Well needless to say, she is drinking on a fraction of what she was and her health has improved a lot. I am in no way indicating that the excessive amounts of water were the blame for her sickness; instead I am saying that it did not help. :)
Rick, I am so glad that you are losing weight by drinking water. I gave up sada's and ice tea for the natural stuff too :)
Love to all.
Darren

Hey Rick,
Thanks for sharing your weight loss secret. I'll have to try that. Run around in the shower just to get wet.... that's funny! :D
Yeah Darren I think 2 gallons would be too much. I have also read about the dangers of drinking too much water- though I don't exactly remember what the dangers were. I don't think 12 glasses would be harmful. I think it would be beneficial.
I'm sorry for your problem Jennie. Though I don't understand it. I would just offer you a milk shake or 2. ;)
I wish I could smell food and get full then I wouldn't have to drink all the water! :D
Bless ya'll! :)

One of my biggest problems is that I crave all the things that don't put pounds on. I love plain tuna(no bread), raw carots, broccoli, apples and I eat a half of a head of iceburg lettuce like you would eat an apple. I don't like salad dressings, mayonnaise, not much butter , etc. I eat dry baked potatoes and dry salads and adore water. Between now and May 12 I will be drinking 5 milkshakes a day with 5 small meals. That has helped before. We'll see if it helps this time. The doc. has told me before that if I am under 110 I will have to go to hospital so they can put some pounds on me. I did eat 3 cinnabons with frosting this morning and drank a soda. I wanted a glass of juice but I pushed past that craving and did the other. I know it sounds crazy. My best friend is the only one that really understands the situation but she has been there seeing me try to gain for 28 years now as I have seen her trying to lose. She says that it is as hard for me to gain 1 pound as if is for her to lose 10. I think it's just how I'm made. I was 105 when I got pregnant, 125 the day my daughter was born and 108 by the morning after she was born. By the time she was 1 month old I was 95 lbs. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

Jennie, I will pray for your health. You are considered anorixic (not b/c you don't eat enough food, but only b/c you have a super fast metabloism.) Your are doing excellent in eating the right things, keep up the good work there. Have you had your thyroid checked lately? You sound like you have HYPERthyroidism. Also, check with a natural health store and theycan direct you into some natural and healthy ways to gain weight.!
I too used to be anorexic at 126 lbs on a nearly 6 ft frame, but then I had HYPOthyroidism (and surgury to remove part of my thyroid) which caused me to loose nearly all metabolism (that causes one to burn calories) and then being (nuked) in the war tookleft me with not much of my thyroid functioning...thus, overwieght! So please pray for me too, The poor taste of the water in W. Texas has caused me over the years to not llike water...I have to make myself drink it. I have become addicted to Dr. Peppers..(thanks DH ::)), so pray for me to be able to give those up too, as I have a lot of work to do.
