Drinking enough water is a challenge for many people that I know. My younger sister will text me from her desk at work to tell me that she has a terrible headache. This is the same conversation recycled over and over again. As if I am her water conscience. I ask her what she has had to drink in the last 24 hours. She tells me "coffee and diet coke" and we go through the ritual of hydration police with me reminding her that she has to drink something that is not diuretic in order to actually keep water in her system.
On Facebook I am part of a group of workout/fitness buddies, and we constantly remind each other of things like getting enough water or protein. Some of these people are running 5K all the time, climbing mountains, doing Triathalon training and still are not getting enough water.
It seems that flavoring the water is the curve for many. Recently I have been slicing fresh lime and adding it to cold water. Remember that the craving for sweets is often our bodies telling us that we need more protein.

, although not a native. I'm always "fixing to" do something, too.
I've been trying to just buy some lemons and cut up a wedge, and I try to order water with lemon in restaurants. I can sympathize with your sister; I'm trying to break a pop habit (did a Southernism pop out there?) and it's not easy! So police away
.
The greatest soul food I have ever had was in a place that by appearance, was the diviest dive of divedom in a divey neighborhood. Don't judge a book by its cover (usually)!
