I totally agree with you. I have dropped diet pepsi and I thought that would never happen in a million years. I drink mostly all water and I try to have some skim milk everyday on my cereal. I feel good!!! Keep up the great work, glad to hear that it's making positive changes for you!!! 

thank u! and same to u...have u found a really good filtering system for tap water? i dont dring it at all, i have to have either aquafina, deja blue, or dasani...otherwise i gag...and it is getting really expensive, so i thought about just filtering. i am just worried that there is a chance that it wont really change the flavor or reduce the viscosity...and ill still gag...thanks! 

I use the Brita water filters in the pitcher that way it's cold already. The filters for Brita are cheaper than PUR! 

So glad to hear you have less stress :] and YES! water has magical powers like that haha I drink bottled water, but thats just me. Filtered is probably better... [i totaly free-load my water] 

Eating well and excercising is always good and when one feels physically better, the emotional strength goes along with it, self esteem and all that... I have noticed a huge diffrence in my self esteem over the past two year.. (I have mother issues - long story) As far as water goes, our son bought us a water cooler a few years ago with hot and cold and we get a water jug of filtered water from the supermarket.. it sure is nice to have it handy all the time.. We also have one at work.. so that makes drinking the water easier.. I like the flavoured waters once in a while.. or I just add some lemon to the glass or bottle... it gives it some zing... Arizona.... warm weather.... oh how sweet that would be...Good luck on your move...  

thank u all sooo much...im spoiled too...just bottled water, but i wanna go cheaper. i have grandma issues that play into my emotions, and mother in law issues that are flaring most of the day...but i still have had an easier time letting em roll off....i kno its the food, oh and u kno what? its getting so much easier to say "no thanks" to all those foods i used to eat!  

As far as filtering, I use a water distiller (we got ours from Sears). It takes about three hours to do one gallon of water and does add heat to the house while doing so, but the results are spectacular. Basically, it boils the water, collects the steam and runs the condensed steam through a charcoal filter. The end result is a bunch of crud on the bottom of the canister where the tap water goes. I find distilled water to be slightly sweet in flavor, very similar to (but better than, imo) Dasani or Aquafina. And I'm definitately a water snob. I can drink a gallon of distilled water a day, but only a bottle or two of Dasani or Aquafina and have to choke down a glass of tap water (which is slightly easier when it's VERY cold). If you're not sure of the results, before you buy a disteller buy a gallon of "potable distilled water" from the grocery store. They're usually VERY cheap (under $1 a gallon), and can give you an idea. (Though some seem very flat and metallic, not at all the way my "machine distilled" water tastes.) 

THANKS! that is another option to consider!
