Helps Me Drink More Water

Dear FlyLady,

This month, I ordered a water bottle for myself and one as a gift for my sister. They came this week and we both love them!

I hadn’t been drinking plain water at all. Every time I tried to increase my water intake on a regular basis, I failed. It was hard to
keep the water cold long enough, and the mere idea of drinking eight 8-ounce glasses a day turned my stomach. I only wanted water if I’d been outside working in the garden on a hot day. Sometimes I would even do a long aerobic workout without drinking any water. But my
mother stayed with us for two months over the holidays.

Seeing how she has ruined her health with years of smoking and overeating, I decided to try again to take positive steps to get healthier and to stay that way. I’ve made amazing changes in my routines with other FlyLady products, and they’ve always been top notch. Would a FlyLady water bottle help with my decision to drink more water?

The new bottle has made increasing my water intake in “babysteps” easy. Ice cubes go in with no shoving, the water stays cold a long time, it fits in a purse or tote bag and doesn’t sweat on my other stuff, and I love the smaller opening for drinking. I even had fun choosing the lanyard (purple for now).

In two days, I drank more plain water than I had in the ENTIRE month of October. As I write it’s 2PM, and I’ve finished 32oz so far today — I will probably get my entire 64oz today. My stomach isn’t gnawing around encouraging me to snack on something unhealthy.

That water bottle is going everywhere with me. It has just become my new “best friend.”

Thanks for finding another great “problem solver!”
