I just read an article via TipNut with some tips to make drinking water more appealing, rather than soda. I’m a pretty strong believer in this for a few different reasons:

• It’s a heck of a lot cheaper to just drink water. And convenient!
• Soda makes your teeth feel pretty gross, which annoys me.
• Every article you’ll ever read about dieting tells you that drinking your calories is a waste. It doesn’t fill you up, and there’s no nutritional value to soda.

In the article they emphasize ways to make water more appealing, such as refrigerating water, or adding some lemon juice. I also like to keep the house stocked with Crystal Light, which is sugar free and packs around 20 calories to the liter.

I would also like to emphasize a similar mind trick– make soda seem less appealing. When buying soda, buy the two-liter bottles. They already mention that this saves you the mental obligation to drink the whole thing. But also, the two-liter bottles tend to go flat after opening, so it’ll be less apealing. Also, it’s cheaper.
