Why Is It Important To Have Mints

I bought the mints and so far, I have enjoyed them without having the urge to use chew them or have them one after another in one day. For example, today I had a mint after lunch and then another one when I got out of work, while driving home. It felt normal, and I was satisfied after I finished it. I did not feel like I wanted another one. My family thinks it is a good idea, so I have their support. It has been three weeks without the negative behavior and I feel I am forgetting about it. I know there are behaviors that are worse and more dangerous than mine, but if I had continued chewing gum, I would have serious health problems. Thinking about that and having to do this exercise were the engine to my desire to stop doing it, and I am glad I did. The difficult part is that gum is a product that is so popular that is very easy to find, anywhere. The good thing is that it is not a product that is inside other food, such as sugar or caffeine. In addition, I think mints are doing a good job in the sense that they take away the point of having gum.

It is difficult to be consistent when I have work and school, but I am trying to make it a priority as it helps with releasing stress now that I am not chewing gum. Yesterday, I went out with my cousins and after lunch one of them took out a packet of gum and offered everyone including me. I was very confident when I told him I did not want it. After saying that, I opened my purse and took out my mints and I took one for me. I am proud for doing that. I know he offered me that because he did not remember that I was trying not to chew gum anymore. It is good that it does not affect him, but it affects me, so
