Water, water, water...ugh! I hate water!!!

[GaSnowLady]

Hi everyone, I'm a semi-newbie. I've been told by countless people and doctors to drink a lot of water. I have tried everything. Fruit in my water, sparkling water, flavored water, ice water, if there's a water out there, I've had it. Still, I just can't drink more than maybe one glass/serving. I get bored. Water is boring. My boss drinks it like it's nothing at all. I wish I could. Granted, I drink some water when I go out to eat but drinking it throughout the day, just can't do it. I feel bloated and I have to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes. Has anyone had this experience? I'm now trying homemade ice tea (no sugar) and ice coffee (no sugar, only skim milk), an occasional lemonade and naturally my nightly glass of wine! Any thoughts would be helpful..

Laughing at "fruit infection" (sorry). Some typos are just hilarious.

You have to love auto correct sometimes. 😩 That will teach me not to proof read before I post. 😂

I guess I am weird, I have no feelings one way or another towards water.  We need to drink it.

I put 4 bottles of water (16 ounces each) next to my desk in the morning.  Before I go to bed, they are all gone.  I am trying to lose weight and find that I get stuck when I am not drinking enough water.

I use essential oils in my water, couple drops of any of the citrus oils work well.

Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Citrus Bliss ... just remember to use a glass or tin container, not plastic as the oils will break down the plastic.

If you were a soda drinker, try sparkling water in the infuser.

The rule is to drink half your body weight in ounces in water. Hard right but I brew a tea bag and thin it down like flavor water. The more you drink and the more days you do it .....after a month or so you won't run to the bathroom every 10 minutes or so. I know this cause I am on the water challenge witch is a gallon a day. I am drinking more than half of my weight.
