For those of you who really know me can attest to my extremely bizarre gum fedish. You know those chain smokers that are smoking one cig after another. Well I am a chain gum chewer. I usually buy 3-4pks of gum every other day because that's how fast I go through them. I pop one piece right in after another. I don't know what it is, but I can't stop. My favorite flavors are the green, orange and pink packs of Trident. I start with a green piece, then orange and finish with pink before I start all over again. I hate when Brett wants a piece because it throws my whole order out of whack (weird and selfish, I know). Anyways, why am I blasting this on my blog...because by making it public I might stick with actually trying to quit. Do you know how much 3 pks of gum cost everytime I buy it...$4.19 to be exact. Multiply that buy a couple times a week and I've just spent good shopping money. I wish they had a patch or something. Anyways, starting this week (and once I finish the gum I already have) I am going to try and not buy anymore. We'll see how long I last.

you are doomed.
You could always take up smoking.
If it's an oral fixation thing, just get a pacifier. :) Just kidding! It might be hard to kick the habit, so maybe you could try limiting it instead. --Nicole
I know how you can save money....I just got the big pack w/ all those flavors @ Costco. I remember you having that habit in highschool. I always thought it was wierd that you always got the bubblegum flavor. I am glad to hear that you are mixing the flavors up! You should get the gum patch. I hear it works great. I think your insurance will cover it!
You are hilarious, sometimes I think I should chew gum all the time, then I wouldn't be eating 24/7. So I guess you could eat all day. But you might put on some weight so not that good of a trade off. I would say look at it as you are not eating and therefore skinny and don't spend so much on food. Good luck
You could always pierce your tongue or take up biting your finger nails to get over the oral fixation...but personally if you are going to have a habit, chewing gum seems pretty safe to me:)
That is so HILLAROUS!! Do you remeber the Extra strawberry kind you loved in HS? Your jaw muscles must be strong....really good for tearing that piece of chicken off of the big, huge chicken leg! lol
I'd like to start a pool of how long we think you'll last!!!! jk I have faith in you girl! But, I don't think you should have to quit all at once, maybe a pack a week or something, who knows what your breath will be like! haha jk. Hey, if cold turkey works go for it, us Larson's have your back:D
Donnie you crack me up. I once was a witness to your obsessive gum chewing. I don't think you should quit chewing gum but, just maybe not so much. Just get that new kind that the flavor lasts forever, or buy it bulk girl. Maybe it's cheaper. Good luck!
