Of course she's one of those people who "doesn't like the taste" of water. Unless you live in Flint or on the rez or something, you have nothing to complain about. Get a Brita pitcher and shut the fuck up.
I grew up in a place that gets its tap water from the Colorado River, which is just disgusting, and which you got reminded of every time you took a sip. But even before Brita pitchers came along, we had plenty of tricks for making it palatable. Now that Brita pitchers exist, there's no excuse.
Also, of
course she has plantar fasciitis. Guess what is a major risk factor for plantar fasciitis? You, in the back! Yes, you. Did I hear you say "being overweight or obese"? EXCELLENT work.
I would actually love to see her try the apple cider vinegar suggestion. An acquaintance started drinking ACV daily after reading some Goop-tier online quackery. She ended up with hemorrhoids so severe she needed surgery.
I developed plantar fasciitis a few years ago, despite not being fat. The solution? Frequent pauses to do quick stretching exercises throughout the day. Basically, keep the soles of your feet flat on the floor, lean forward as far as you comfortably/safely can, and hold that position. You can do it leaning against a table or counter or the wall for stability. Those stretches, done for maybe 20-60 seconds at a time, 10-12 times a day, fixed my shit—I got noticeable relief within 5 days, it was completely gone in three weeks, and by continuing to do those stretches occasionally I've kept it from recurring (and the stretches feel good).
Cost: $0.
Number of doctor visits: Zero.
Specialized shit I had to buy: Nothing.
Learning a simple new skill that solved the problem, and will keep it at bay: Priceless.
Just... Who doesn't like water? What?
Deathfats don't like water. And they don't like it because they are essentially dopamine addicts who have decided that food is the most reliable way to get their next hit. So anything they consume that doesn't kick loose that neurochemical cocktail that (however briefly) lets them feel pleasure, happiness, and satisfaction isn't just boring; it's undesirable.
Water doesn't have a crapton of sugar, fat, and flavorings, therefore it is not only unpleasurable, but
anti-pleasurable. So while they may force themselves to drink it because they know they have to, they'll resent the shit out of it, and fall for stupid gimmicks that promise to make it tolerable.
