Oral fixation

ColorfulSouls

Hello. I am new to this site and have a little preoccupation that has been bothering me for a while.

I have an oral fixation and always find myself needing to eat something. I don't really know how to control it and was wondering if any of you have a remedy for this other that chewing gum (not a good option for me). Thanks!

I wish I knew. Eating, smoking, pen-chewing...none of them good options. I have at least managed to quit smoking but I chew on all kinds of random things if I'm not paying attention.

I wish my problem was chewing up pencils and such ;D Well, thanks anyway!

Chew a pen. Or a straw.

breath mints, jello( sugar free). watermelon, cataloupe, water water & water, savor a diet soda, anything to keep me from eating useless calories.

Hmm..

Carrots, celery and a water bottle.

My other suggestion is not appropriate for public viewing. :laugh:

Apple Cinnamon Cherrios.... 3/4 of a cup is only 120calories and i eat them one by one and i like to break them in half (like a little bitty bagel) when i eat them. It gives my mouth and "activity" while I am at work with not a lot of calories and 3/4 of a cup is a lot of little cheerios. They carry well in a purse, I eat them everywhere. Good Luck.

this is why twizzlers are so dang ADDICTIVE! they have the *perfect* texture. but they're like 40 calories and a tsp of sugar a pop. bad, bad, bad.

you know they sell chewy stixx for kids with oral sensory issues that are non toxic and bph free. if you think it's that bad.

I'm gonna invest in breath mints I love those!

ColorfulSouls

Lol! I think I better go with carrots XD

I think this might be the best solution. And cheerios are quite popular in this household!
