Have you tried adding fresh squeezed lemon or lime to your water. That helped me. Also, I love diet coke! I mean love it. In the begining I made myself drink 32 ounces of water before I could have a 12 ouce coke. I felt sick drinking down those bottles of water in the begining. Now I don't allow myself a diet coke until after dinner when I have drank my 120 ounces of water for the day. Also, water always taste better when it is really cold. Another way to get your water in is to excercise and get very thirsty...then you'll drink it!!!

Good luck! The water battle is one I fight eveyday....if I can win it then anybody can. I used to drink a pot of coffee each day folled by a 2 liter of diet coke.

Go Cubbies!!!

"What my mind can envision; my body can master!"

"Hang in there, the beauty of water is the more you drink, the more you want!"

that is a very true statement.. I have noticed once i finaly start drinking my water i can get it in rather fast... beacuse the more you drink the more you want.. I usualy get in the most of my water at work where its hot and im constantly moveing.. for some reason i cant drink water sitting around at home ... In the car is another place i tend to drink more... i guess its beacuse at work i drink in the attempt to not EAT.. since im a cook... food is always in to close of a reach.. if i keep my belly full of water till my break i can fight the urge to eat the 1 french fry that didnt make it on a plate or a piece of toast that ended up being toasted and not needed....

I never realy drank much of anything till i ended up w/ a sever kidney infection over a year ago.. befor i ever started this WOL... i would hardly drink and when i did it was soda or tea.... after my infection where you cant controle your bodly functions and your in so much pain all you do is shake all over... i realized i needed to DRINK!

I think you need to eliminate for at least a few days all things other than just plane water just let yourself have the pureness of regular water.. dont tell your self.. "i hate regular water " just drink it...

I realy dont know how much else can be said beacuse you have to WANT to do something for it to happen... that is just how life is.. good luck!
