How do you drink water when you dont like it?

My major problem is drinking water. I try but only sipping at it. My mouth is so dry and I know I should drink more water but its so hard too. Any suggestions for me to get me to like water more. I have tried putting lemon in it and it helps but still have problems.

Any else with the problem as me, what do you do to drink more water?

i found that putting splenda in the lemon water makes it taste good. it gives it more of a lemonade taste. and splenda is perfectly ok for you to use as a sweetner. it is not sugar it just taste like sugar.

I will try that. Do you use real lemons or the concentrated lemon juice?

i prefer to use real lemons but sometimes when i run out of lemons i do use lemon concentrate, but i like the taste of real lemons better. i suggest you fill up a pitcher with real lemons,water and spenda and put it in the refrigerator and keep it very chilled and drink that during the day. make it at night before you go to bed and it should be good and tasty for you the next morning when you get up.

Try filling a cold glass from the fridge with ice to the top.Put a small amount of apple juice in then fill up with cold water.I dont like water that much either,but apple juice makes it taste better.Keep lots of trays of ice blocks in the freezer so you never run out!
Make your own low calorie ice blocks out of diet cordial,eat them all day,lots of water intake that way! :smile:

I buy those crystal light packets that come in different flavors like peach or rasberry. Target has their own brand aswell. They are quite tasty. I add them to my water bottle. It took me a while to get use to the water, but now it's like second nature to keep a bottle filled and close by me. If I get a sweet craving I drink alot of water till I'm full.

Thanks for your replys. I'm drinking a little more today, so hopefully it gets easier for me.
