No water!

-crystal light
-lemon juice (fresh squeezed is better, but some people like concentrate)
-let fruit sit in the water overnight, take the fruit out & then drink it (You can eat the fruit too, but take it out first so you don't choke. My friend likes pineapple & peach best)

I just drank it. Eventually I came to like/prefer it. I drink pretty much only water now.

You can add stuff to it but I like just plain water, cold is best but I can do warm now.

Sometimes drinking water at a different temperature (hot, warm, or ice cold) makes a difference.

When I don't want plain, I add a Crystal Light packet, though some people don't like the artificial sweeteners in that. And I dilute mine. I use a small packet, intended for a 16 ounce water bottle, in a 24 ounce bottle. There's still flavor, but it's not super strong, and I drink less of the artificial sweeteners over the course of the day then.

"Spa Water" is another tasty treat. Float some mint leaves and cucumber slices in a pitcher of water overnight. You can add lemon or lime slices, too. The cucumber and mint add just a hint of freshness to the water.

I stayed at a hotel a couple of summers ago that always had fruit water in a dispenser in the lobby. One day it had strawberries in it, the next orange slices, the next cantaloupe chunks. It was good - just enough flavor to be not plain, but not as sweet (or caloric) as juice.

It takes time to like it - eventually one day you realise you really want it and when out and about you need to get a bottle of water of order a jug for your table instead of having fizzy drinks like everyone else.

You said you want to - so just start drinking it. Its the one thing everyone here does - drink lots of water

I used to gag on water unless I was working out, especially if it wasn't cold.

Then I went through basic training where I was forced to drink room temperature tap water and sometimes from a canteen that sat in the hot Texas sun for an hour or so... now I can drink it just fine. lol

It's a mind thing, but there are plenty of additives if you don't want to force yourself.

Haha "Hydrate" . I remember those days.

Try filtering your water or bottled water. But ice cold water seem to be the best for me.

The more you drink it the less it bothers you.

Edited for: I have tried Mio fit and it tasted pretty good.

Are you drinking it warm or cold? With me, I like it to be ice-cold. Don't know why, just like it better that way. If you want to try flavoring the water, you could try:

Crystal Light
Special K Protein water mix (I like the Pink Lemonade)

It's water.

It isn't supposed to have a taste.

Just drink it.

this.....

I don't think I'll ever understand the concept of "So what if you don't like it, put it in you mouth anyway!" (lol...)

I like fizzy flavored waters so that's what I drink, or I'll throw lemon wedges into a pitcher and let it sit over night. That said I'm sure the carbonation and sweeteners from the flavored waters are giving me cancer or something of that nature, or so I've been told.

I just drank it. Eventually I came to like/prefer it. I drink pretty much only water now.

^^^ It grows on you... I prefer it now

water with fresh lemon wedges
that mio fit water enhancer stuff

I hardly drank it before I began my new life changes but now I drink so much it HAS flavour and I love it!! I was the same as you at first btw and I now drink 2/3 bottles a day.
