Very Cute, Terri!
Yes, I do recall hearing that the main reason the wife didn't want me to drink coffee was because it being a diuretic, the dehydration would set in, and be the cause of the bleeding. However, I have been working hard at keeping up on my hydration levels, even in this extremely hot and humid weather. Though I'm sure I was on the high side of hydration before the bleeding incident, I know the bleed didn't have to do with the coffee because: (a) I wasn't drinking coffee anywhere above my usual amount, on the contrary, maybe less. (b) The place we went to that day (R/C Drifting) was air-conditioned. (c) I was still drinking gallons of water that day.
Though I've lost weight throughout this heatwave, I've been able to go down closer to my weight before my divorce. I was at an average of 73kg, which was too thin for me, and then I shot up to nearly 80kg with a shmorgasbord of foods I wasn't able to eat for years! Finally, after trying to moderate my weight down to an average of 75kg, it took a while cause of Yuka's cooking *Yummy! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> *.
I'm sure the weight loss has a lot to do with calories, fats, and detoxins going out with the water and minerals, but since I'm putting a lot of those nutrients back in, the hope to keep enough water in me to avoid dehydration would stop the worry of taking coffee out of my diet.
