something about knowing you need to drink more water and then drinking more water and feeling better feels humiliating

 'drink more water' is like the 'do unto others' of health advice.

you need to be reminded of it because you aren't doing it enough but you get reminded so much that it stops feeling necessary so it just becomes background noise until you remember, 'oh yeah. it actually IS super important.' crazy

I take some amount of pride in thinking that I took good care of myself and then you find out you aren't drinking enough water and it's like 'well shooooooot' that's really like step one isn't it?
