Water

[Patti]

Shannon, this may sound silly, but I need a sub totally devoted to drinking water. No matter how many head games I play with myself or whatever I do, I just cannot drink water. I don’t really like it yet I know how important it is to drink it. Would a sub for this be effective?

I ran into this problem while fasting this past summer. Try a few drops of lemon or lime juice in your water to keep it from getting too boring

It's entirely possible, but with someone as headstrong as you are it could go either way. It also helps to understand the "why" behind it. Jones has a good suggestion. I find that adding flavoring to water makes it more interesting and enjoyable also, and sweetener even more, although I hesitate to suggest that because I don't think there is much in the way of sweeteners that is actually good for you, aside from maybe raw honey. But, try that while I'm catching up and making myself able to build all these suggestions.

Couple drops of food flavorings, very interesting. I like lemon, stawberry, coconut, anise, lime and occasionally vanilla. Even better, get seltzer water (plain carbonated water) and add flavor to it. Now it's soda!

Hardheaded? Me? haha why dontcha tell me how ya really feel?!

I’ve tried all those idea’s, I do like lemon sometimes, don’t like carbonated water and hardly ever drink soda. What I need is a sub that makes drinking water more natural, something I do without even putting any thought into it. I need it to be my drink of choice without even making the choice.
