So, I know this may sound crazy, but I have never been a water drinker because it goes through me like beer. Seriously, when I drink more than about 4-5 glasses of water a day, I end up going the restroom every 15-minutes, and I am not exaggerating. It even gets to the point where it disrupts my sleep because I get up 4-5 times a night and I am exhausted. I think I have the smallest bladder on the planet. Come to think of it, I think this may be genetic or something because I can remember clearly that my mother used to drive us nutz because we had to stop at the restroom EVERYWHERE growing up.

It is just really frustrating because I know water is important, but this is rediculous! I have lost a bunch of weight, eat well, and I am trying my hardest to increase water intake. I asked the doctor about it and they said nothing is wrong with me, just may be the way I am. I worked out today for about 45 minutes and downed about 36 ounces after. That was 2 hours ago, and I have gone the restroom 7 times!!!

I thought it was a matter of my body getting used to it, but I had to drink more than 10 glasses a day when I was pregnant and I almost could not work because I seriously went every 10 minutes.

Does anyone else have this issue????
