Have you ever noticed that as you make changes to your diet your bodily functions change? I mean that is a completely obvious deduction but you don't realize how drastic the change is until it occurs...and occurs rapidly! To give you a little background on the situation I should inform you that my usual intake of beverages consist of a morning coffee filled with caffeine, sugar, cream, and oh yea, caffeine! I am a waste of space at my desk without any form of caffeine in the morning, and the cream and sugar are added simply to help in the intake of the coffee, because without the caffeine I would NOT be a coffee drinker!
Anyway, the rest of the day would be followed with more of the same: a coke at lunch (nothing diet, just regular) maybe a whole bottle of water consumed throughout the day, and depending on my mood at night, another coke or class of milk. All in all, I was most definitely not getting my '8 glasses of water a day' nor was I even coming close to the required liquid intake they suggest. Fast forward to today and my diet: I go...no I RUN to the bathroom almost every 45 minutes! I am trying to be good and drinking my liquids (water) and less coffee (oh dear caffeine how I miss thee), but with the new intake of water levels, by bladder apparently can't keep up. With the amount of time I spend in the bathroom and running to the bathroom, I believe my coworkers are starting to worry about my health...both mental and physical.
So needless to say if the bladder control doesn't start improving I may turn into the crazy astronaut lady and wear a diaper at my desk just to prevent any more weird stares from my co-workers. I mean I know women pee more then men in general (or at least that's what the public bathroom lines tell me) but at this rate I think I should start investing in toilet paper stock...even in this market!

Pretty sure the reason you lose more weight when drinking water all the time is because you get so much exercise running to the bathroom. :)
I drink tons of water while I'm at work so I'm always in the bathroom too, you're not alone =)
I've read some articles recently saying the 8-glasses of water a day is nonsense, but who knows. I do feel better the more I drink.
And as anonymous said-- these breaks do keep you a bit more active!
actually, it's normal to pee more as you drink more liquids. your body is only cleansing itself. i believe that's why they say you should drink so much water. but you can get water from other beverages and food. it does not have to be strictly water that you drink to get your '8 glasses' in a day.
