This may sound like a silly question, but my husband and I were having a discussion at dinner last night that we’d like to invite you to join us in. Josiah and I spent time at the creek yesterday in the sun together. I spent most of my time floating on top of the water relaxing, not exerting myself in the least. At dinner I was more hungry than usual. This reminded me of spending summer afternoons on the lake or in a pool as a child under the hot Florida sun and getting terribly hungry afterwards.

Lowell said, “If you had worked out in the hot sun and sweat, you’d be thirsty and probably lose your appetite. So if you want to lose weight in the summer, swimming won’t help.” That reminded me of our visit to Savannah, GA a couple of summers ago. I remembered saying that I’d probably lose weight if we moved there because I only wanted to drink water and didn’t care if I ate or not.

What about being in water on a hot, humid day triggers hunger? Can anyone else relate to this or have an explanation? Rabbits won’t eat until they’ve quenched their thirst, so… I surely don’t have the answer, do you?
