At work we ahve a tiny frig/freezer in our area and I keep juggling 2-

3 24 oz bottles of water all day-when drinking on one-the other two

in freezer-finish the one i'm on fill it up and freeze it and take

another out. I FORCE myself to drink nothing but water ALL day long

at work and when I get home I treat myself to either lemonade or iced

tea by Crystal Lite. If I give myself a choice-I will NOT drink water

so, I take nothing to work to force myself. I also take 4 oz take a

long containers of sugar free jello for snacks. Thanks for the

encouragement! I NEED it!!
