Considder yourself lucky. I used to love the hot water. I live in a building where the hot water is off and on, and I would never take a shower unless it was anything but steaming hot. Now the thought of that turns me off. It gives you a good energy boost...That lasts!! Although in the winter I do like to start off warm (not hot) then go cold. You should try dry skin brushing, if you don't already....they work together like magic.
