why is it so hard

MommyToAshley replied: OMG,I am the same way... I love pop and have a hard time drinking water. I had to make a rule for myself. I can have a pop in the morning, but then I must drink 3 glasses of water before I can have another pop. Sounds silly, but it works for me. I haven't given up pop but I drink less of it and more water, so it's a start.

sunshine girls replied: It is, isn't it. I can drink a glass of coke quickly, but it takes me like an hour to drink a glass of water.
I asked James why its so hard and he said that water is plain, so of course we are going to drink pop easier because of the oral ecstacy (yes, he is very weird).
I find it easier to drink more water if you carry it round in a bottle, it goes away more quickly.

Water with a lot of ice, in a restaraunt is favorable, as long as it does not have that funny tap water taste. Bottled Dasani water flavored or not is the best (IMO) super duper cold though-- & Nestle has great flavored water choices that satisfy sweet cravings.

holley79 replied: I am very addicted to pop and sweet tea. I just got on the sweet tea kick, like a month ago and it HAS to be Milo's sweet tea. Go figure. I have to do the same thing as Mommy to Ashley. I have to force myself to drink water then reward myself with the pop or tea. The pop lately, burns so I have stayed away from it.

We have really good water here so if it is ice cold it is yummy! Add a lemon-it does help. I found now that sprite makes me sick if I drink it when i am thirsty(you know to quench thirst) The big thing I miss is sweet tea! I make GOOD sweet tea and Dh still wants a pitcher everytime he is home!

Debra replied: Same here! DH always jokes that instead of blood in my body, I have soda. I drink more soda than anything. I just can't stand water! I have to gag it down. I've never liked it!

kimberley replied: cuz water has no flavor . i like water but like something bubbly with flavor once in a while.
