Water water everywhere

[Tinkerbelle888]

I hate drinking water. Simple as.
I admire people who can gulp down two litres a day.
I can hardly manage three glasses.
Any advice on how to start drinking more?
Thanks x

Oh I am with you!! Since joining this site everyone keeps telling me to drink water but unless it is in my coffee or wine I just can't!!!!!
It's not that I don't like it I just keep forgetting!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tinkerbelle888]

I just don't like it Niki lol.
I wish it was as simple as just forgetting heh heh x

 

[Niki3]

Maybe try mixing it with whisky or brandy lol am afraid I have no answer apart from juice but I'm sure you've tried that!!!
I guess it's a pinch your nose job!
Sorry xxx

Do you drink tea? My mum hates water but she makes up for it by constantly drinking tea.

I like water, but I hate fruit and veg so I kind of know what you mean. You know you should be consuming it but its not enjoyable

 

[Niki3]

Oh I hate veg any kind but especially green I hate green!!!!
I will eat salad and fruit but dinners are so hard as I can't fill up with veg!!!!
No I don't drink tea just coffee and wine!
Seriously!!!!!!

 

[Tinkerbelle888]

Niki you sound like my kind of gal lol!
I drink a lot of semi skimmed milk during the day and coffee, why it's heaven in a cup... x

Cf hello!
I drink chai tea so I guess i'm getting the dreaded h2o in somewhere lol xxx

 

[Niki3]

Oh tinkerbelle888 I agree I don't smoke and can just about survive without a bit of choccie but coffee is my thing!!!!!
I must drink 6-8 cups a day I like it strong with no sugar so don't really see the harm it's made with the dreaded water!!!!!

 

[yummymummy75]

add some sugar free squash,,i cant drink water either but am managing about 4 pints now with a drop of squash

 

[Niki3]

Ahh but I forgot to mention the splash of baileys I pop in the coffee after a crappy day!!!
I do however point this!!!!!

 

[Tinkerbelle888]

Ooh never thought of that yummy mummy, thanks!
I think it's the thought of the constant peeing puts me off too lol. My bladder is leaky enough at my age heh heh

 

[Niki3]

Haha when I have anything with veg I always eat the veg quickly and at the start to get it over with!

well does coffee have water in it...or am I clutching at straws here?! Im not a hot drink person you see.
But yeah..I'd rather have the wine without a doubt!

I was the same, I used to HATE water. Now i hold my breath and down it

I keep a 1.5 litre bottle of water on my desk and keep topping up my glass , Ive always liked water . my problem is i am too lazy to go to the tap every time !! ( so would not bother to drink )

What about adding low cal squash ?

 

[Tinkerbelle888]

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one! Great ideas girls, but what about the PEEING lol xxx I'm a nurse and can't run to the loo all the time :-(

 

[MaisieMoodle]

I can't stomach plain water either, so I make sugar free squash. I have a 2ltr jug which I fill and just keep topping up my glass all day until it's gone........ then I can "treat" myself (lol) to a can of diet cherry coke.

I'm another one who spends all day running to the loo, which is annoying and I also have to go 2 or 3 times in the night.

Oh, just had another thought for the water haters - what about sugar free jelly? That's made with a pint of water and only has 32 cals for the whole thing
