I DO THAT :) I ask for No water, No foam, soy. It tastes creamier to me, and I get a Grande instead of a Venti...

I get mine no-water and with an extra pump of syrup now that I only get it as a treat, and it helps me have a smaller serving and *really* savor it. I do that!

Maybe that's why I started bleeding in the stores the other day... I hadn't had enough water.. *lightbulb*....It's a great habit for me, because everyone assumes it's water.. when it could be vodka *bwahahhah*...:P<br/><br/><b>Meg</b>: I like that idea. I agree with you about pom juice... ugh, it was SO strong for me, and I almost choked when I first drank it. Watered down, it tasted great....<br/><br/><b>Ms. M&P</b>: My body really is silly.. :P I do have to actually trick myself. It's.. sad but true. Husband can sit there and nurse a huge 5L bottle in an hour or so, and be happy as a clam, but me, that bottle could sit there for a week before I took a conscious drink of it.<br/><br/>Yes :) They give you a 10 cent discount if you use your own mug --- ask to be sure, but I know they do in Canada!!

I've never heard of anyone actually tricking themselves into drinking water, but it's ingenious! I second Meg--I have some friends who hate water and they throw in some lemon juice or something else for flavor and voila! Yummy water!<br/><br/>I also have a pink starbucks travel mug and I didn't know they would give you discounts with it. Thanks! lol!

Water's just too bland to start the day, so I've been adding a little bit of sweet tea. It only takes an ounce or less per glass, but it works great. There's hardly any calories and the itty bitty bit of caffeine is very welcome in the morning.<br/><br/>Sometimes instead I add lemonade or even pomegranate juice. I find pure pomegranate juice to be too strong - and expensive. Watered down, it's just right. Plus, it's healthy.
