Q I need something to suck on during the day? So like im older and when im just watching tv i always have the urge to have something in my mouth (yes, i know this sounds wrong) it just makes me want to eat more which i know will make me fat and i cant keep eating little candies all day im already addicted to gum ( i finish a pack in one day) so i have no clue what to do, and i dont want to get my tongue pierced or anything that will hurt?? Im not sure how to solve this problem, so any ideas???
You have trapped yourself in an obsessive cycle which needs to be broken. First of all, get a dental examination done to rule out any teeth defects or to make good the harm you subjected your teeth to with all that candy. Sometimes, issues like insecurity, boredom, anxiety can lead to such behavior, so get help. Thirdly, exert your will power to break off tis habit. Deny yourself candy or gum, it wont kill you. Keep yourself occupied at all times so you dont keep fixated on the need to suck. Good luck!
