Keep Yourself Occupied

I’m getting to the point
where I start drinking water more now
because it’s supposed to be good for me
because it’s the healthy thing to do
and
I think underlyingly
I drink more water
because it stops me from eating more

It’s not like I need to eat less
but it’s just easier when you have nothing
to do with your hands to want to
instinctively turn to food to
occupy your fingers and your spare time

I mean, it’s not like I sit around
thinking that I have to drink more water
because then the hunger pangs won’t settle
in until later, but I suppose it is
something that on some levels
passes though my unconsciousness somehow

Does that mean I drink more water?
More than I did before. Yes. Does that
mean I’m becoming dependent on
water drinking? I don’t think so. It
just seems to be one of the better choices
out of so many other options of things to
do to keep yourself occupied
