The New Year has rolled around again, and that means it's time for another New Year's resolution. What do you mean you are supposed to make those before the second week of the month? In clear "me" fashion, I am a little late starting with my resolution, but it is once again to lose some weight and get healthy. I honestly just want to be able to run and play with the boys without being winded. At this point, it is more about them than me. So, I have been enlisting the help of some information and resources to help me succeed in keeping my resolution this year.

New Juicy Fruit® Gum with Starburst® Flavors

As silly as it might sound, the number one tool in my arsenal for keeping my New Year's resolution is a pack of gum, the new Juicy Fruit® gum with Starburst® Flavors to be exact. I loved Juicy Fruit® as a kid, and now as an adult, it is helping me achieve my goals. Now, can gum help you lose weight? Probably not, but what it does for me is helps suppress my appetite. See, I eat when I am board or just want to chew on something, so gum helps me feel that need for just 5 calories per piece!

New Juicy Fruit® with Starburst® Flavors came out in December, and are available at Target in both strawberry and cherry flavors in either a 15 stick single pack or three count of packs. I have been snacking like a villain lately, so when I was at Target the other day getting in on the Christmas 90% off clearance, I picked up a three pack of gum.

I love the real Starburst flavor that is packed into each stick of this gum. When I first tasted it, I could have sworn I put a Starburst candy into my mouth instead of a stick of gum.

Now, when I feel the munchies come on not long after eating a meal, I grab a glass of water, and pop a stick of Juicy Fruit® gum in Starburst® flavors in my mouth, and it helps me keep from eating everything I shouldn't. With just 5 calories per stick, I'm not sacrificing a lot. Want to try the all new Juicy Fruit® with Starburst® flavors, you can Save Now at Target!
