I use to drink Diet Coke all the time, too... Never much water. It wasn't until I was on a well known diet program that I realized the importance of it! I lost 30 lbs and even worked for that company for quiet a while as a weight loss consultant. I've had to totally change my way of thinking about the food group and carbs since then, but I've held on to the belief that water is vital!!! It doesn't matter if you're "dieting" or not, water is so important to our very existence.

I keep a bottle with me all the time, too, and I'm always refilling it throughout the day. After you've gotten use to drinking it all the time, it becomes second nature and you actually crave it.
