The best invention in the world.






This is what my husband shoved in my stocking for Christmas, he was half joking because I kept nagging him about gum the few weeks before Christmas. Well, this my weight loss loving buddies has quickly turned into my best friend. This magical little tin filled with 3 different flavors of gum has helped me curb my appetite and keep my willpower to not go grab some random snack and shove it in my face. Spearmint is my weapon of choice for those desperate moments when I just want to gnaw someone's arm off and water is not doing it for me. Juicy Fruit is the piece Ala resistance when I need something sweet and my mouth wants something in it. I haven't even touched the 3rd flavor yet which is wintergreen I think. Another reason this tin is so great is because I am so bad with packs of gum. I lose them, forget them or can't find them for 3 months so this will help me keep my gum in one place. I have decided to restock it as it dwindles in supply. I will always keep one "sweet gum" and at least one "minty gum" because they really do work. So yes, gum is the best invention in the world and it should become your best friend too.
