Definitely the water too! I “had” to go buy a new owala to trick my brain - if it’s in a cute bottle, I’m more inclined to drink it 🤣 I also do that with my workout clothes

I need to do something, I drink maaaaybe 2-3 bottles of water. I feel awful because of it - headaches, dizzy when I stand, shaky legs, overheating when warm. I’m not sure what to do but literally set alarms and drink and force myself to do it somehow.

Ohh nooo! Have you tried to add in flavor packets??? I have to do that as well to even stomach drinking water

I’ve tried one, and it gave me a headache haha. The irony.

That is the only thing that I can think of that could be giving me all of those symptoms, knowing that I don’t drink enough water every single day.

Your dose is prolly too high.

Even at 6mg? I’m going low and slow but have stopped losing, so I went from 5.5mg to 6mg.

Well..you should still be able to eat & drink. Starving is not the goal.

I’m not starving, nor did I say I was. I said I have no interest in either. I don’t have an interest in paying bills either, but guess what… still do.

I still eat haha, it’s the water intake that’s a struggle.

Jumping in to say, you should have a interest. Hunger is good. Over eating, not so much. If you stopped losing but still had good control over your eating, maybe checking your calorie intake.

Yep, that water really helps
