I HATE water

I grew up with Coke in my bottle...(my mom is an addict!) I'm forty three now and for the past four years I have not had one, nope not one, Coke. I will occasionally drink a diet coke (blah, not the best substitute!) if I'm at Sonic and need some caffeine. I have converted to Sparkling water. I don't like flavored waters ...yuck...but Kroger has a canned sparkling seltzer water that I LOVE. I drink about four or five cans a day then make myself drink one bottle of water too. The fizziness makes me feel like I'm having coke. My dr. told me having the seltzer water was just as beneficial as having regular water...there are 15 mg. of sodium in each can but that's a very small amount. Anyway, the point of my rant (obviously had too much coffee this morning!)is that you can find the right replacement...just look around. Good luck!

I really hate to drink water. I am so addicted to Pepsi, altough I have cut down to 1 or 2 cans a day. How do I get to where I can drink more water?

Drink more water.

Drink less Pepsi.

This is NOT an involuntary action. You actively pick up the Pepsi, actively open it, and actively drink it. That is ALL you.

If you keep drinking it, you tell the entire world PEPSI means more to you than weight loss and your health.

Do you do cardio very often? When you work out or play some kind of sport and get really tired, does your body want a Pepsi or water?

try drinking brewed unsweetened iced tea instead of water. It's only like 4 calories or something. All I drink anymore is water, occasionally I drink some tea.

I dislike water sooooo much!! However now I add a tiny squirt of " MIo" ( a water enhancer) and yum!! No problem drinking water.
I have never liked pop , I usually drink way too much milk. I buy Mio at grocery stores.
Good Luck

I hated water as well, NEVER drank it, now I drink more than I probably need to and have my 8 glasses in by 3:00pm most days.

Make a consciouss decision to drink more water, get a 24oz water bottle or 2 and keep it full and in your hand. It's almost an involuntary action for me now, I drink and don't even realize I am. My BF is still pretty amazed at the change.

I hear you. I hate water too. I force myself to drink it. But I find if I don't, I don't feel good overall. I try putting cucumber slices in mine to make it more interesting, lol.

mineral water - like Perrier or San Pelegrino

I USED to be addicted to Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. It really can be addicting. I suggest trying to slowly get yourself off of the stuff. Limit yourself to one serving per day. If you HATE water, then try water with lemon and a little bit of sweetener (such as Stevia). Use THAT in your water first. Then drink one glass of plain water a day. Once you start getting used to the water then it'll help. You have to train yourself to drink it, but once you do you won't want to go back. I used to NEVER be able to drink plain water because it would make me sick to my stomach. I'd drink pop and tea. NEVER water. But maybe try that. It worked for me!

P.S.- Diet Coke or Pepsi is no good either. There are so many different things in there that will stop weight loss and make you bloated and make you retain water. DON'T DRINK IT!
It isn't worth it to drink it. It may be hard at first, but stick to one can a day, with the lemon water. then drink a can every other day. Then once a week. That MAY help you. Let me know how everything turns out!

I'm honestly convinced that I am addicted to Coke.. I love it, I crave it and nothing tastes better than an ice cold glass of that sugary sweet stuff. BUT...I admit that if I force myself to drink lots of water, my body craves WATER. My daughters have also learned this and are amazed that they actually want water. It will get easier the longer you are at it...but you can do it. Trust me, I could drink a 12 pack of coke a day.

I am a reformed diet pepsi addict.

I thought I was addicted to diet coke until 2 weeks ago...then I read one too many articles about how bad it is for you and how diet soda can make you put on more weight by naffing with your brain and how hungry/full you feel.

I replaced it with soda water...and after 2 days of mild headache...I realised it wasnt the diet coke...its the bubbles. Ive progressed now onto regular water and carbonated mineral water as a treat.

Mio. It makes water taste sweet and nice. Just be sure to get the flavors that are 0 nutritional value so that you don't turn a water into a soda. Here are some that I have found to be tasty and 0 nutritional value in both Brand Name and Wal Mart Brand.

Strawberry Watermelon
Lemonade
Fruit Punch
Grape

As long as they don't say "Sport, Energy, or Performance" they will likely be 0 nutritional value. Tons of flavors just read the labels. Happy Drinking! :drinker:

I love apple and cinnamon in my water..... I also really like lemon and blue berries in my water too.

I am not a fan of crystal light or mio, but i can drink regular water just fine.

Mio, crystal light, etc. Try drinking one plain serving of water per day, and adding the 0 calorie flavorings to the rest of your servings. Eventually increase the plain water and decrease the flavored water slowly until you are only drinking plain water, or flavored water on occasion. This is how I did it, and I was addicted to Mountain Dew pre-healthy lifestyle. Hope that helps!
