Chewing Gum

I am addicted to gumballs. Yes... full sugar, chemical laden, brightly coloured Dubble Bubble gumballs:

Am I alone? I don't smoke, don't chew my nails, eat well overall... but know this s*** isn't good for my body.

But... so tasty!

    If that's your one downfall, I think you'll be okay. :P

    Honestly I usually end up chewing gum in order to stop myself from indulging in things that are much, much worse.

    I chew sugar free trident gum all the time! Maybe try to switch to that? Honestly if that's the worst thing, I'd still chew it if you HAVE to have it :)

    So many darn calories and it's puuure sugar and empty carbs! Weird how we can logically know something is so bad for us, yet still consume it.

    Alas, I'm cutting back a bit, but instead of forbidding it I'm trying to focus on making healthier choices throughout the day to compensate/balance the indulgence.
