Life changing
It sounds outlandish, but I used to not drink much of anything. It's amazing I survived. Stuff happened, yada yada yada, now its more important that I drink water regularly. But I don't even like water. My doctor set a nice low goal for me of just drinking 24 ounces a day to begin with. I struggled. I failed most of the time. I wondered how anyone drinks that much water, never mind that most drink double or triple that amount. It wasn't even registering in my brain or my body that I was thirsty.
When I came across this bottle, I purchased hoping it would help. I set my goal at 24 ounces. And I drank water. And the lights came on. I loved the instant (though slightly delayed) gratification.
The first thing I realized was that 1 ounce of water is really not that much. "I can do this!" I thought. 24 ounces later, the lights danced. The second thing I realized was that 24 ounces of water is really not that much either. The goal seems much less burdensome when you realize it's not the big of a deal.
A month later, drinking a measly 24 ounces a day, I learned that I could do it. That was HUGE. And then...Then I increased my goal to 36 ounces a day.
Fast forward- It's been 10 months. My goal is now 45 ounces a day. I'm on a 204 day streak (honestly, since I started, I only missed 1 day and I only missed it by 3 ounces, that's really not so bad if you think about it). I know what "thirsty" feels like. And 45 ounces doesn't seem so ridiculous.
I lost my bottle for about 4 days recently. I don't know how I lived without this thing previously. I was distraught. I drank out of a cup... Who does that? My bottle has since been found and everything is as it should be.
This has been the best water bottle I've ever had. And I don't even like water.
