I used to be a "water-hater" too The only thing that worked for me is to just stand at the sink and chug down an 8oz glass of plain icky tap water. (I did this a few times a day) I just had to force myself to do it. Like taking medicine:lol I am ok with water now, in fact, I like to carry my little water bottle around all day and keep re-filling it! Makes me feel noble:lol
