Water -- Recommendations to get it in???

I used to have to force myself to consciously drink water. Then I got Crystal Light Liquid. I'm not trying to advertise for them, but by slightly sweetening the water, I drink so much more now and it's no longer a struggle. I would definitely recommend trying it.

Set a reminder on your phone... like every hour drink a glass of water...:drinker:

DH has health reasons to drink a certain amount of water daily. He fills a Brita filter/pitcher to the correct point each morning and drinks until it is gone. He measured his amount in the first place, and put an indelible line on the pitcher so that all he has to do now is fill to the line. It has been a big help. He hasn't been perfect, but he has made a big difference in his health this way.:flowerforyou:

Yeah, like the other young lady said, you have to force yourself if you're not used to drinking water. You get used to it. I go through a ton a day, but i only drink bottled water. Not that i think it matters, but for me, being able to just grab a bottle and start drinking is easier than constantly replenishing a glass.

Have a smaller glass, and when you have a drink, make yourself finish it. It's easier to drink a little glass of fresh cold water lots of times than wade through a plastic bottle full of tepid water that's sat there all day. Also, put a little squeeze of lime in and ice to make it more special again.

I alternate my drinks ,for example if I have a glass of tea or pop the next glass I drink is water.so for every drink I have, I have also drank the same amount of water.

I'd set a reminder and add lemon to your water or other fruits.

Try using a straw. I find it goes back way easier. Add lemon or fruit or a few slices of cucumber is nice too!

^^ me too!! Or Mio is another good one... I drink so much more now!

don't know how many oz you have to/want to drink in a day - but what has helped me is the jumbo smart water bottles. It's 50.7 fl oz. I chose personally to operate under the idea of "half my body weight - in oz of water a day" as oppose to the basic 8, 8oz a day. So I thought, "JEEZ I'll be swimming in water by the time I'm done" (for me that'd require almost 200oz!!!)

So I was using cute little cups, with the straws that they have at Walmart these days - looks like the cups you'd get frozen drinks from Starbucks in.....I was never hitting my quota!!

When I changed to these tall (no funny shapes, colors, or designs) basic bottles - I was able to hit my quota almost daily of 4 bottles....(i could do a bit less than 4, but i did 4 for a nice, even easy to remember #)
And now it's like - cool, i can do this...ONLY 4 bottles - where as the cups were like almost 20 refills a day required to meet quota. So not having to drink what my brain VISUALLY SEES as "as much" helps a bit - and with these smartwater bottles - i can usually kill each bottle @ 3 different drink times.

So type of bottle has helped me - and the other thing is - a rule that i drink NOTHING ELSE til quota is met. So i don't know if your drinking other things during the day (as seems like your orig post said something like it's the end of the day and my bottle is still full...so are you drinking other things?)
I sorta made a deal with myself - kill these 4 bottles (AT LEAST 2 a day)---and then you can drink something else.

Hope this helps!
