We all eventually get those "duh" moments of clarity. I stayed on plan but ate a lot more than typical yesterday and Saturday (although Saturday was just extra chicken - so good...). It hit me on the way to pick up my son from the airport last night - duh. You had like no water either day. DRINK YOUR WATER.

Not that not drinking water directly led to the gain necessarily but definitely I notice a correlation between low water (like maybe <32 oz +/- for the day) and increased eating/grazing/wanting.

It's funny how many times we can recommit to the same things until we get it. And even then sometimes we forget and have to relearn the lesson. It shows up in all sorts of categories (money, relationships, self-image) and I find we go through the same lesson over and over until we finally make the solution so much a part of ourselves that it's ingrained.

I hope your Monday is wonderful buddies...DRINK YOUR WATER! ;)
