I wanted to give you an excerpt from The 100 Calorie Diet in the hopes that I can convince you to drink your water!!!  Here goes:

I know you’ve heard it a million times and you may be sick of it, but here goes.  Make sure to drink your water.  How much?  As a minimum, you need to drink ten, 8 oz. glasses of water per day.  Why?  When you drink enough water you’re much less likely to be hungry.  And interestingly enough, the more water you drink, the less water weight you will keep on your body.  More importantly, water helps to filter out impurities in your blood and carries waste to the kidneys for elimination.  Water is wonderful for your skin, lubricates your joints and cushions your organs.  You need water to keep your brain functioning properly and to transport nutrients in and out of cells.  Convinced yet?  We hope so!  The next question is what kind of water?  Drink only bottled or filtered water.  Also try Perrier®, club soda, seltzer or sparkling waters with a twist of lemon or lime.  Learn to love water!
