I HATE water....help!

I'd suggest water with some lemon or another fruit in it. One of my friends hates water and only drinks crystal lite. Hope that helps!

have you tried the Mio's they are great!

wow I can't go without water. I'd be the first one in the desert to die because I seriously can't go even a couple of hours with out a bottle or 3 of water. Have you tried propel flavored water? My aunt hate water to but she'll drink that stuff like 's going out of style. Also water doesn't stretch your stomach out it just fills you up and once it pass on to your bladder that full feeling goes way. If you must drink coffee and soda make sure it's caffeine free. Caffeine is a diretic and can make you more dehydrated. Always drink some sort of hydrating beverage because they say people often mistake hunger for being thirsty. How about making your own juice that way it's not going to be full of extra additives.

try Mio r using 1/2 the crystal light it says to use... just enough to give the water some flavor. Your body will get used to it and begin to like water

I am ot big on water either unless I am very thirsty. Two things that make water a bit easier to drink are a touch of lemon/lime & having it very cold. Also, I absolutely dispise water that comes from my faucet; even if it is filtered, it still tastes lousy. We have very hard water where I live, so it always tastes "chalky". As such, I need to drink bottled water that is softened.

One more point on the lemon; rather than buying lemons/limes, you can purchase small packets of lemon/lime juice & they really do make the water more enjoyable to drink.

The more you drink water, your natural thirt reflex will kick in. I know its a pain and I used to be the same. But after a week of forcing myself to drink 8 glasses water (not including any 'other bev'), I actually became thirty and would drink water without thinking of it. Find the temperature of how you like it and drink it that way. Hot, room temp, lukewarm, ice cold etc. Find and start that way.

I've noticed that as well. I've always drank water, but now that I REALLY drink it, if I don't get at least 8 glasses of it a day, I can tells imply because I'm thirsty.


*edit to say:
Definitely try the Mi0. I love them and they come in quite a few different flavors. I just wish they weren't $3.99 a pop which for me is about once a week.

I also like the new Crystal Light with Stevia because I don't get the aftertaste and burps the other gives me.

Me, too! I hated water and am a coffee & Diet Coke addict.

The only way that I have been able to drink water is the Mionet and / or Crystal Lite things.

I hit a plateau a while back, and started to drink more water (cheating with Crystal Lite, but hey -- it's water) . Guess what? I dropped 2 pounds that week.

I still have coffee & Diet Coke, but I do try to fit more water into my diet. It really does help!

I agree...try it at different temp's.....it looks like you want to lose a fair amount of weight....and one way to get there is by increasing your water...I use to not mind it and I would force myself to drink it, but now I find I choose it with my meals and over pop...I LOVE MY DIET COKE.....and will never give it up but water is needed in your body!!!!!

50% of you body should be water....that means you might need more then 8 cups a day
Take your weight/2 that gives you how many ozs you need....take that number and divide by 8...that tells you how many cups your body needs....

You will see great results with water added to your day....

Also, you may feel like it's stretching your stomach out...and that's fine. I use it to keep me from over eating. I'll drink a 16.9 oz bottle before most of my meals, and it keeps my hunger and calorie count under control. You just have to want it, period. Again...good luck!!!

I never drank pure water either, always juices and stuff until I was in extreme pain and found out I was in the process of passing a kidney stone ( I never even knew I had one) it was so painful and ever since then I bought a water bottle that holds 3 cups of water at a time.. I make sure I drink 3 of those throughout the day and guess what I am starting to like water now.. anyway you need to drink it please don't wait till your kidneys act up like mine did. Luckily my CT came up clean and didn't show any other stones.. I feel the difference, I don't feel tired all the time, don't get those nagging headaches and love that my pee is clear hahaha (TMI)

One more quick tip that might help once you've found a water (or similar product) that you like. I keep my water at room temperature unless I've just come from outside and want a cold drink. You don't feel it going down your pipe at much when at room temp, and especially in cold weather, that can make it easier to swallow.

I don't know if this is bad advice (so if someone knows, please correct me)

I used to hate drinking water and would only drink it if I was extremely hot. I tried crystal lite and did really like those. But now, I drink water usually only with my workout and for the rest of the day, either SOBE Lifewater (the zero cal ones) or other zero calorie "vitamin water" beverages. They got me out of my diet soda habit and got me closer to liking water. They are similar to gatorade but with more interesting flavors. Now water doesn't seem like too far of a leap from what I'm already drinking, so it isn't as bad. I can only really enjoy water if it is ICE COLD. Lemon gets to be boring for me...try things like cucumber or different fruits to make water interesting.

Bendy straws & tiny umbrellas can make it fun too

Start with a glass a day and ease your way into a healthier daily ratio of diet soda to water.

SPA WATER: CUCUMBER SLICES AND LEMON KEEP TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE ICE CUBES OF FROZEN FRUITS IN PLAIN WATER.. BUY THE CUTEST 32 ounce jug you can find and drink twice..

i do not like the taste of tap water; i drink poland spring or disani.... i hate nestle water ugh. Not all water taste the same so try different companies. also different temps i like room temp water over cold. then there is sparkaling flavored water... i love thoes.
