HELP!!! - I dont like drinking water

What about water do you not like? Have you tried warm water? Lemon?

I drink when I'm thirsty...

You can drink flavored water, tea, or water with lemon.

It's not about liking it or not liking it. It's about filling up the water bottle and just chugging it all day, like it's your job or a chore. Sometimes we have to do things we don't like.

I don't like water. I don't dislike it. I drink it because my body is made up of it and needs it. That's all.

I drink those flavored "sparkling ice" waters..they are a fizzy water and I take my water bottle and mix half of that with half a bottle of regular water..shake it up and drink.

I know people will rant on about the flavored waters ..but it works for me.

Mio is good but artificial - but I still use it. Sometimes at home I'll make just plain brewed tea with lemon and chill it - if its too bitter, I'll add Splenda [the horrors, I know ]

I got this water bottle at Kohls and there is a little compartment in it that you can put fresh fruit or whatever in and it flavors the water. I drank 10 servings yesterday without being totally miserable!!

I get a bunch of my daily water from coffee. Sure, I drink a few glasses of plain old tap water, but the water in my food, coffee, tap water, milk, etc. all count as water.

Also, the eight glasses a day thing is so 2012. Go read some more recent research and don't stress about it so much.

I hear you. I NEVER drank water EVER. I drank Dr Pepper instead and milk. It was the toughest part of this. First I had to switch to diet Dr Pepper. Since the taste of that isn't that great I started just pouring water and drinking it. A glass in a hurry just to get it down. I tried a lot of the different "flavor stuff" but it really didn't help much. I gradually started drinking more and more till now I drink almost what I should every day. You just get used to it after awhile but it still can be tough. I drink bottled water and filtered. Can't just drink tap water. It is one of those JUST DO IT things. GOod luck!!

LOL! That's like saying, "I don't like to eat food!" I don't know what to tell you. Water has no taste to it, so I'm not sure what there is to dislike about it. :huh:

I've never been a big water drinker but I like carbonated water.
I bought a Sodastream home fizzy water maker and now typically drink 2 liters every day and more if I have a big workout. The Diet Pink Grapefruit tastes like Fresca! Mmmmm.
I highly recommend it.

Probably you are thinking 8 cups of water instead of one cup at a time. I really don't think you need 8 cups of water if you have made up the amount of water your body needs through other drinks and food. Try plain water in smaller amounts and you may find that after doing this for a time you will start looking forward to a cool drink of water. Water does have benefits to your body that you may notice if you try to give it the water it needs. Good luck with your program.

Tray a big plastic container with a straw -- mine is 28 oz. one I got when I was in hospital, fill with ice and water and you will drink more. I used to not like to drink water now I crave it! Try fresh lime or lemon too!

Im with the Mio people. I know its artificial but you know waht it helps me drink my goal of 16 cups of water a day.
Favorite is strawberry/watermellon and i use half of what it says just enough to smell the strawberry and taste a little different.
Good Luck water is Very important!

I drink redbush tea - no caffeine or calories but its better than water especially in winter.

I just fill my nalgene to the top with water and squeeze in an eighth of a lemon. The lemon makes it more refreshing, and having the ounces on the side as a reminder makes me more aware. Which sounds weird, but I might be weird.
