Hang in there... it does get easier. Developing good habits takes awhile. We have a well too, and we make sure that it gets treated (water softener and salt treatment). I love the taste of our water. But I do get flavored waters every so often (Fruit 2 oh) or I add green tea to go packets.
Pat yourself on the back when you accomplish each little detail. Baby steps, know what I mean?
SparkPeople has definitely made this easier (and even more fun) for me. I log my food and exercise. The articles are very helpful as are the message boards. Join a team if you need a little extra 'spark'.
We can and WILL do this!

Good for you!!! You didn't give up, that's so important!
I know what it is to wish bedtime to come soon. I've had some days when I was really hungry (in spite of having eaten inside my recommended calorie range, which most of the time leaves me very satisfied). Those days I was counting minutes til bedtime and trying to finish my chores soon so I can just go to bed.
Water helps me a lot. I just fill my belly with it, lots of water! After that, I'm so full that I can't eat anything even if I wanted to. Of course this only lasts for a few minutes, but if I'm still hungry or tempted, I just do it again: more water!
Good luck in your journey towards a healthier you!

Congratulations on making it through the first day!!
As to the water: Do you have a water filter? Our water tastes a lot like chlorine (as if someone dumped a whole barrel into it) and filtered it's a lot better. You can always buy bottled water as well. If you still don't like the taste, try mixing it up with Crystal Light or it's calorie free competitors (Crystal Light has 5 calories per "to go" package). Also, try doubling the amount of water for any package you're using. That way it's not as sweet. Slices of Lemon, Lime, oranges are good, too.

 This is the longest day ever. I'm so proud of myself and I did it with not one soda. Dearest hubby went out and bought a whole case, he and the boys are not making it easy.
I want to go to bed so the day will be over, crazy I know but this is really hard. Oh I found out I really, really don't like water.We have well water, nasty stuff. Any ideas to cover the taste of the water.
