Am I the only one who finds it pretty much impossible to drink 64+ fl. oz's of water a day?

To me, I drink a lot of water...but I have a very very very hard time trying to drink THAT much. Even if I mix it w/ Crystal Light, i just feel like I cannot drink that much in a day!

I have a package of water bottles sitting in front of me to try to motivate me :lol

(I know that would help w/ swelling)

I'm having a difficult time drinking as much as I'm supposed to. Always have. I just carry my bottle around with me in hope I will drink enough. lol

I have a hard time doing it also.. That's one of the reason I chose not to breast feed because the NICU nurses were like you HAVE to have a MINIMUM of 64 ounces of water, I was like "there's no way I can do that."

I do sometimes but most of the time I have a big glass always filled with water on my counter and drink it threw out the day. Sometimes I drink more than 64oz...

Sometimes I have a really hard time drinking alot of water. I just really hate having to pee every five seconds! It does get hard to get down if you are needing to drink alot.

I guess I dont have much of a choice....I never carry cash for the coke machine and work has bottled water service, so when I get thirsty its my only choice. I definitely drink way more then 64 ounces a day....but if I wasnt working im sure it wouldnt be that way.

I used to drink so much just because I was working so hard at my job. Plus when I was bored it gave me a reason to get up. now that Im home I don't drink that much. I know I should but I also should floss my teeth every day and I don't do that. I don't think its going to kill me not to.

I drink mine out of a big cup, still bottled water, but I have to drink water with a straw. Crazy I know. I actually drink 3-4 big cups, 32oz, a day.

I craved it and drank probably close to a gallon or a bit more a day. Anywhere I went I had water with me. At home I always had water with me. I was just always thirsty

I'm usually a good water drinker UNTIL you tell me I HAVE to drink it, the all of a sudden I'm gagging on it. I'm the kind that if there's nothing good to drink I'll have water. I really like it but when it's forced on me, I can't stand it. I also hate having to go to the bathroom every 5 min.

right now, I'm definitely NOT doing 64 oz a day... not even close. I drink some water when I am thirsty but if I try to gag it down when I'm not thirsty and wantng it, I will throw it back up. So, I just drink as I feel like I need to. I probably only drink about 32 oz a day. Its better than nothing and I'm not going to choke it down if I can't.

Now, with both of my others, I craved ice SOOOOOOOOOO bad that I seriously crunched about a gallon's worth of ice a day. So, between eating ice and drinking my water, I got PLENTY once I was past the morning sickness.
