How to trick yourself into drinking more water

I got a set of gorgeous Mexican hand-blown glass goblets for my birthday, and have tripled my water drinking each day just because I love holding those glasses! Crazy, but true!

If you don't like to drink water, go get yourself a glass you love. It couldn't hurt... ;c)

    I've found that if you drink from a straw, you will drink more and not realize it until the glass is empty. I use a big cup - 32 oz and a straw. Also helps if it's not super cold water - you can drink more at a slightly less than frigid temp.

    Glad a special glass will work for you.

    I have a cup that holds three cups of water. If I drink three of them in a day....I've made it!
    I usually manage to drink at least two of them by mid afternoon.

    I have the big plastic tumblers that we use around the house for just us. They hold 3 cups and I am constantly drinking. I get about 12 glasses a day. Yeah over achiever here. lol No I have always been a drinker, but the drawback to that is friends do not want me on road trips.

    At work I always keep water on my desk. If it's there, I will drink it. For some reason I don't have trouble drinking my water when I home.

    I have a container that holds 4 cups of water, that is always on hand. I also find, I tend to drink more water when it is room temperature than when it is cold.
