I thought i was bad with half a pack a day. It was really starting to bug me that I was chewing so much gum.

Now I see that its a common thing and not a huge deal.

Also, I just did a bit of searching online...

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1458 605/the_marvelous_health_benefits_of_chewing. html?cat=5

and many similar articles.

So chew away :)

Well it starts off with bread, and than its just out of the jar.... its not even completely enjoyable but i dont know why i do it? guess thats the binging compulsion.

and yeah the pb problem is common for lots of people.

i didnt know that jam was a common problem though :P

i think i might be that way with any remotely sweet condiment though... incl. ketchup except its less guilt...

We don't have blueberry here in Canada!

I've only ever bought two boxes of miniwheats before.... maple sugar and strawberry.

Both boxes, I finished in less than 2 hours.

So, addict might be a bit of an understatement.

That's pretty judgemental of the lady who was working there. I would NOT be impressed if someone said that to me (but I'm pretty sensitive about weight/diet comments)

As for the sweet onion chicken teriyaki craving.... thats my favorite!! its not really that calorific for a meal....

Anyone know how many calories it is for a pizza sub? I can't seem to find it...

Santonacci - The menu had said the sauce was "tomato al fresco white wine sauce"
As for sending it back, I'm not sure I could do that: "i expected tomato marina and not tomato oil!" They'd probably tell me that's how italians make it :P

Leslazz - it probably was a true italian place, cause most of the pasta options on the menu were 'in an olive oil'. (which I had thought I was smart to avoid, but it probably ended up being the same)
Yeah I ended up paying around $30.... it was on the more expensive side cause it was under the 'seafood' section I suppose, with its five big shrimps.

Hmph, I even got charged for drinking hot water.

I just ate a whole tub of cottage cheese on its own...

Hmmm I have to say I don't eat much red meat. I do eat a ton of white meat though -- for example, today, I ate about a pound of chicken breasts. Yikes, I know. But I buy the sliced chikcen breasts from the deli (its like 130 cals per 100g) and they just taste soo good I eat it all at once :\ wayy too much protein.

As for lean red meat - what about grilling sirloin steaks? I think they're pretty lean... or pork tenderloin.

Me too, I'm addicted to sugar.... in fruits (cause I go even more insane if its refined sugars, so I can't let myself start with those!)

for example for breakfast i had: 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of blueberries, 1 grapefruit, 1/2 banana and 3 dried persimmons (fruit.... yikes, 100 cals each! fruit triggers my sweet tooth too....) So I'm pretty sure I'm like 300% of my recommended sugar intake already and its only 9am for me!

I even like a bit of mustard on my apple.... haha does anyone else like to do that :P

OK guys - I tried a Luna Bar and hated it.  It was all oaty and gross.  I want something more chewy like a soft brownie/cakey/fudgy texture rather than an otameal cookie texture.  Are Larabars more that?  Because they look really good on their website and I'm thinking about getting one tomorrow.  But I don't really want to waste 200 calories on a piece of crap I don;t even enjoy like I did with the luna bar. 

Also I'm a big sweets fan and love chocolate & cinnamon flavors, so which flavor do you recommend I get?

 I'd recommendclif bars for that. have u tried those??
