can anyone suggest anything?!?!?! I had to give up a good job because I couldn’t stay hydrated and had no energy..... I could use any suggestions that could help me get energy and muscle mass back. Hydration is a problem for me and I could use any suggestions I can get on how to stay hydrated.
Welcome, Daisy.
You're gonna hate this, but believe me, it comes from reality and experience.
You have to force yourself to drink enough water to avoid dehydration. If nothing else works, use force. Get a shot glass and fill and refill it until you feel cold over your stomach skin.
Graduate to a rocks glass and repeat.
Upgrade to a juice glass. Repeat.
Not taking in water is not an option. Dehydration is the least of the horrible things that will happen to the state of your health.
When you're 75, you WILL wish you'd drunk more water.
Stop allowing yourself to fail. Reject the repetitions of anti_water. It's not a big thing. But you have to refuse to allow negatives to be repeated. Just do it.
Everybody complains about healthy water consumption at some point. Why not donuts or candy or overflowing plates of food? Why is it so easy to eat too much food and so hard to drink delicious, health-giving water?
Please believe me, you can change your bad self-talk and do what's good for you. Just stop fighting against positive change.
As to energy, I'd advise you to ask your doctor for a full metabolic panel. There may be an organic problem that needs attention.
And write everything down. It's so much easier to build on positives when you can see them written down. Buy an elegant blank journal and use it only for recording food and water consumption. My food journal is so beautiful, and the words within have power!
I believe in you.
