Question
This may be a really silly question that I should know the answer to but I don't so I'm hoping someone else does. Some of you know that I used to drink A LOT of diet Mtn. Dew in a day - a very unhealthy amount. I have now gone 4 entire days with not a drop. I'm trying to replace it with water. I heard that you are supposed to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Yesterday I was drinking my head off and only finished 5 water bottles (20 oz) - I seriously felt like I was going to float down the road. Is it because my body is not used to water??

No! You are right 8 20oz would make you feel like you were floating away. When they say glasses they mean cups - as in 8 oz. If you drink 4 20oz bottles a day you will fulfill the requirement plus some. Don't worry! I am amazed you can quit cold turkey that way. If water gets boring you can try addng a little lemon juice and sugar, just for a change. It will count as water, but changes up the taste a little. Good Luck!!
I also love the crystal light mix-ins. they do add 5 little calories but it makes your water a nice treat instead.
Thank Heavens!!! I was about ready to drown. I'll try the lemmon and crystal light. Thanks guys!!!!!
You really have to be careful there was a lady that did drown from drinking too much water. Hope you don't have the killer headache that can go along with withdrawel from Mt. Dew. I had one when I gave up diet Coke. However I have not given it up completely. Caffeine free works wonders for me and NO calories. I do limit myself, but it is a great alternative once in a while and caffine free counts towards your water. I understand they make Mt. Dew Caffeine free also. Just a survival trick that I learned as a diehard Diet Coke addict.
Good Luck--

I may have to try the caffeine free as a treat once in a while - what I'm truly trying to give up is the caffeine - so that would be a perfect treat :O)
after reading this post and trying my goal for a day I decided that I needed to change it a little. If all I need is 4 20 oz bottles than I will shoot for at least that. If I get more than great. I guess I have to set realistic goals :)
