You do not have to drink enough water. Not everyone likes water.

Choose something that you like.
I know you cannot afford those, but if eventually you get into a better situation, there are lots of tasty options - some of the vitamin water flavors are pretty good. If you try many - there is a whole variety - you will like something.
Not everybody LIKES water - I do not and one of my two daughters does not and the other daughter would drink nothing like water because she LIKES it.
Your binge eating is due to a disease. Why would you feel guilty about having a disease? Did you will yourself into having the disease? No. Plus, you do not have obligations to others with respect to your eating, so the only person who should care about what you eat is YOU, and YOU can absolve YOU of guilt!
Why would you want to spend money only on the daughter? Who will then spend money on YOU?
like binge eating, depression is a disease, not a crime, so there is nothing to feel guilty about it.

I feel like I do have an obligation to eat healthier, to me and my daughter. I feel better when I eat better, and my daughter deserves to have a healthy happy mom.
