I absolutely hate water! I hate the taste, I hate the non-taste, I hate the look...everything

I only like it when I am verrrry thirsty!! I also hate putting lemon in it! YUCK!!!

But i know that water is good for you. Any tips on what to do??

    well, I guess telling you to put lemon in it won't work lol. I like water, and when I do want a little flavor, I put lemon in it. So I guess I can't help.....sorry:ohwell:

    If you don't worry about artificial sweeteners, get some Crystal Light or Mio. Or, if you don't mind unsweetened drinks, make a variety of herbal iced teas.

    Just because you add some flavoring, doesn't make the water into 'not water'. :-)

    MIO!!! Its the best....zero everything and plenty of flavors to choose from. Just don't get the energy one as it has sugar.

    lemon AND a few packs of sweet n low OR truvia...make it into lemonade..
    or you could add crystal light mix to it... that only has 5 calories...
    or buy the flavored fizzy waters... they ahve ALL kinds of flavors at walmart.

    This. If you don't like plain water, drink flavored water, or juice, or diet soda, or tea, or coffee, or whatever it is you enjoy drinking. If you pick something that has calories, be mindful of the calories. Otherwise, whatever you choose to drink will hydrate you just as well as drinking plain ol' boring water.

    How can you hate water? Never heard of that, but just drink it. Add lemons or cucumbers for flavor.

    When I hated water, I just drank it. I had only one non water drink per day. After a week or two, you start loving it. It is kinda like learning to eat your veggies as a child, you keep trying till you love it.

    I don't like water either. I find it easier to drink it at room temperature than cold. I have a pitcher I keep on the kitchen counter instead of in the fridge.

    Good luck.

    I hate water, so add ice-cubes c: colder water is meant to help you lose calories, as your body has to use up energy to produce heat. I can't say if that's accurate, but ice cold water is so much easier to drink.

    I swear by the Crystal Light fruit punch drink mixes. 5 calories a serving. You can get cheaper generic brands all over the place too. Helped me kick my soda addiction.

    I find that the only water that I can drink is distilled water. My parents had to buy it for me as a child because of the mineral taste of regular water and even spring water. Try distilled water. Wal-mart carries it pretty cheaply

    If you have acid reflux don't drink too much crystal light. Mio is the better choice. Or iced tea if you want something with caffiene.
