NEVER THIRSTY?!

Jessicaruby

i am literally never thirsty. i can go through my whole workout and meals without so much as a sip of water. All i DO drink is water but i am just never thirsty. I am addicted to gum (took that up when i quit smoking 4yrs ago) so to get in my water i tell myself i have to drink X amount of water before i can have a piece of gum...

Anyone else never thirsty or have any idea why this is occuring? Just curious on peoples thoughts. ( i am going to the doctors in two weeks so i will ask her when im there)

I never am as well and literally went YEARS living off of only diet soda. when i gave up caffeine and artificial sweeteners, I started only drinking water or tea. I had this one day where I guzzled like a HUGE water bottle and i felt SO GOOD! I was dehydrated for so long that I didn't realize how much it affects your mood, energy, and overall well-being. So now I just keep filling up a huge water bottle everyday and make myself drink it. I find that If i use a straw and just sip it all the time (or chug portions of it) then it's easier and not so much of a nuisance. I think drinking water is really important for not overeating, as well, because when I binge It's days when I hardly drank any water.

Same here! I'm going to guess that we're not thirsty BECAUSE we're always hydrated, since thirst is actually an indicator that you are already dehydrated. Just keep chuggin'!!
