Really struggling to drink the water

[bigandbeautiful]

In the first few weeks I drank the water (2l) religiously but now I'm struggling to even get 1l down.
There was a few days last week that I didn't drink one drop (not good I know).
How important is the water on SS, and will not drinking it affect my weight loss (or health)?
Thanks x

From what I have heard it does affect the weight loss. You can do it, just have 500ml at a time and divide it throughout the day it doesn't feel too bad, trust me I sometimes wouldn't have any water all day (before Cambridge) but now I have 3-4 litters a day, I keep it in 2 litre bottles so that I know exactly how much I have had!! Hope that helps!!

I know I have to drink it, but for some reason it seems to be harder than not eating!!
My son keeps taking my bottle and flinging it around the house (hyper 4 yr old) so I can never find it then I forget and before I know it it's time for bed...
I'm going to have 1l now (obviously not going to down it in one )
Thanksxx

It's not so much your weight loss you need to worry about but your health. On aconventioal diet you get about 2litres of fluid a day through food. You must have plenty water on a VLCD. You're risking your health if you don't x

It is vital to have your water for health reasons I carry a 500ml bottle with me and try to have a mouthful every 10 minutes of so. This really helps me give it a try
