I HATE WATER?!

xilka

I was permanently dehydrated for years.
A month could go by without me drinking a glass of water.
Then I started doing it - forcing myself to drink it.
After a few weeks, I couldn't live without it.
My skin, hair, and energy levels are very much better for it.
You'll live longer. Just do it.

I know this sounds a bit blunt, but i was in the same position as you and i just made myself drink it. I felt like i was drowning and always thought it tasted fishy ! haha. But now after 2 months its all i drink. Has to be bottled for me though...the tap water round here is vile.

I never drink plain water unless I absolutely have to. I drink sugar free tea and coffee. The tea has 0's across the board with 5mg of sodium.

Hate to be blunt but suck it up and drink it. Your not gonna die. If u want results not everything is great.

I don't drink plain water and I get results. In my case, not drinking water doesn't hold me back.

I thought I was the only one. I can't drink it. Well I can, then a couple minutes later it comes right back up. Anything more than a sip and I puke.

I actually like water though! I just can't drink it I don't think it's mental because I quite like water. Doctor said it's just a quirk and wouldn't follow it any farther. So I drink everything but water. If I do drink water I need to put something in it, whether it's flavour/fruit/veggies. I also water down all juices quite heavily and do fine that way.

I love water but my partner absolutely hates it. Instead she drinks crystal light, or those liquid drops in her water to give it a kick. Green tea is also a way to substitute. All of those are fairly cheap and can be found at a grocer, or Wal-Mart.

I moved somewhere new and starting having trouble drinking the tap water, I basically stopped drinking any water for about a year

I finally managed to get back into by using a brita filter, and forcing myself to drink a glass of water before I ate any meal, now its just habit, when ever I want to eat something, I have a glass of water first. Not only does it help with the water, but it also helps you realise if you are really hungry or just thirsty

Going from Dr. Pepper to Diet Dr. Pepper to deciding to change my eating habits, I have a really serious issue with non-flavored drinks. I'm used to drinking something with flavor, so water was a really huge hurdle for me.

I gulp the water down during my workout because I'm sweating like a lunatic. But during the day, I just repurposed my last Diet Dr. Pepper 2 liter and make a bottle of Crystal Light. I drink that every day. It's tasty and satisfies my hydration needs.

Raspberry Ice and Peach Mango Green Tea are my faves.

I primarily drink water, but I hate it. I've tried putting lemon in it, but it makes it worse. I don't want to use any kind of chemical additive, like Crystal Light. I might try getting some herbal teas or something.

If your used to drinking fizzy and sugary drinks then switching to water is a bit of a shock to the taste buds. You do get used to it, I remember when I only drank pop and drinking water just seemed awful but now its become a habit and I drink about 4 pints a day.

Yup, stick with it. Diet drinks and flavored waters are not as good for your body or weight loss. You'll get used to it, but it takes a while.

Ok so I'll be the idiot who asks this question:) does it still count as water if your adding stuff to it? I have always thought/ been told it doesn't. Personly I think drinking water is gross my only fluid intack now that I've cut out juices n high cal drinks is 1 8oz bottle of lemon water while im at work so I don't get dehydrated ( I work in a hot kitchen) but besides that I don't drink.

Juice counts. Milk counts. Soda counts. Tea counts. Coffee counts. The liquid content in your food counts. There's nothing magical about water, relative to other non-alcoholic, unsalted liquids for hydration, and nothing particularly magical about eight glasses a day.

Oh please...



1st world problems indeed....

Fluid is important. Water isn't. Drink something else. Or eat things with liquids (soup, fruit). If it has things in it that you are tracking, then just track it.

If its important to you, you can learn to like water. Just like many of us learned to like vegetables. Or to drink coffee without sugar. If you just keep at it, your tastes will change. But if its not important to you, drink something else!

I hate it too but you know what, I keep an app on my phone (water your body) which will keep reminding you throughout the day until you hit your set goal of water to be drank. And also, flavor it a bit. And don't think too much when you are drinking it. I like to think of all its benefits while I drink it and it actually becomes easier

Goodluck!

I love water, but I also love carbonation. Try Perrier. It's carbonated water - no artificial sweeteners.
