is this difficult for anyone else?

Is it just me or is it really hard to drink 8 glasses of water a day? I drink about 3 glasses a day and I pee A LOT, its annoying having to pee every 30-45 minutes. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm horrible at drinking anything. I rarely drink the daily allowance.

Yes lol. Now trying to do this and having a big old pregnant belly and no bladder it's 100 times worse. I just have I carry around a water bottle and sip all day rather then drinking big glasses at once. Seems to help lol...

Up and down at work all day like a yoyo, just think of all those trips to the bathroom as burning more calories

The glasses we have in our cupboards are often two or three times the glass (actually cup, 8 oz) they mean when they say to drink eight... Maybe that's it?

I don't have an issue with it, but I've been doing it a long time. You do get used to it!

It used to be hard for me to remember to drink it. My son bought me this huge water bottle and I never go anywhere without it. I fill it up about 3 times.

I drink about 8 liters (32 cups) of water a day in addition to a few diet sodas and a cup or two of coffee or tea. I would die on three cups of water a day. I drink that much within an hour of waking up.

the only problem for me is that i always have to wake up and pee in the middle of the night. I always have a glass of ice water with me- on my desk, at home in the kitchen, even in the bathtub and next to my bed. I get a little panicky when my glass runs out and i am too busy to refill.

i probably drink too much

Nope. I just get used to it. I was the office gag when I had my desk job because you'd find me in the bathroom more often than at my desk! :P I love water anyway. Plus, I don't really drink anything else besides almond milk, so my options are extremely limited. Not that I mind.

I have difficulty stopping drinking so im often up 3 times during the night having to pee. But if I drink less than 3 litres, i get swollen ankles, retain water and my aerobic and lifting capabilities decrease. The peeing is worth it.

I think this can help a lot. A really big bottle makes it easier because you won't have to run around as often to refill it. I used to carry around one of those massive 2 liter Naya water bottles in college and I'd easily have to refill it at least twice in one day.

Everyone has difficulty drinking that much water because it's unnatural...and also a myth. Google it...you'll see.

Its really not that hard for me anymore. Once you workout and move around more your body is needing the water esp. after a nice workout. The earlier you start your day with water the more your able to get in. And for the peeing every 30mins, I would rather get up and pee then drink something bad for me and not get in enough water. I see it as the more you get up the more chances you get to burn extra calories.

TIP: Get a liter bottled jug or a gallon jug and just keep it next to you and take it with you when you have to go somewhere. That keeps you from buying a soda or other drinks.

You get used to it. And if you replace most of your other beverages with water, it's not that hard. Remember, don't drink your calories.

Most glasses people use are 12 - 16 oz. Two 12 oz glasses are the same as 3 cups. I drink that much after a workout!

And if you don't drink anything for a few hours before bed, you probably won't have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. That's what worked for me.

Drinking plenty of water has never been a problem for me, and I don't drink it just because you are "supposed" to...it's pretty much all I drink. I don't understand how people can't drink it...I could never survive on just 3 glasses a day!

I was not the best water drinker in the begning...but you will get use to it!! I drink water all day and through the night and my skin looks so much better and it is pretty easy to do since I know it is the best thing for my body and helps with the weight loss. Good Luck you can do it!!
