It's probably taken me ten years to get used to drinking water. I'm a Coke addict -- four a day -- and my first step was not keeping any at home. I'd drink water at night and Coke only at work. Then I started working at home -- I kept to the Coke during the day rule. By drinking the water at night (fizzy water, like Poland Spring or, now, the cheaper, no sodium Vantage) I began to acquire a taste for it.

When I started this WOE in November I had to work to get in one litre a day. In December, I worked to drink two, and now I usually hit three -- some days even start a fourth. It's not an issue any longer.

I hate tap water (and I don't trust my city's tap water) so I buy both seltzer and plain bottled water and put three liters in the fridge every night so they'll be cold in the morning. Then I know where I stand.
