It helps that I have a desk job. It is always sitting on my desk and I drink constantly, except right after meals/snacks.
I have my 1st 23.7 oz. bottle during the drive to work. Then I just keep sipping all day long. I still don't gulp. But I constantly sip, allowing to keep it flowing. If I get cold, I drink more hot stuff. That slows me down a little. Sometimes I alternate between the hot and cold. It is harder for me on the weekends when I am doing more physical activities, even around the house. So I can see why it might be harder for you, you are busy runnig around after the kids and making sure all those necessary life tasks are done each day - a very active job to be sure!

I think that's why I drink so much coffee....it keeps me warm and I don't have a constant supply of NSA hot chocolate......althought i try to keep my calories down when I'm drinking which is why I was so happy to find FF/SF regular creamer for my coffee.....it shaves more calories off my drinks. I'm just in the mood for hot drinks this time of year mroeso than cold drinks.
Yes - I watch the calories too. That is why I switched a while back from the SF hot choc to the diet hot choc. The calories are less with the diet version. Also with the hot choc, I get a little bit of protein which adds up. I bought some ingregients to try and make my own diet hot choc, but I have not actually done it yet.
Unfortunately, I never developed a taste for coffee, although I love the smell of it brewing.

Oh trust being after the kids is not what stops me. i just get the feeling that I will overflow and can not drink anymore. It has always been a challenge for me since being post op. Although you are right I can get busy and forget to drink. lol
