Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

Why do cheaters eat pumpkin, by the way? I have no idea. I love the cute little saying but I have no idea why people who cheat on anything would eat pumpkin? I mean it's not like it tastes bad or anything...Okay, anyway, to the point!

I've already made one small cheat on my diet. JUST the teensiest weensiest cheat...it couldn't be helped, I swear! But I feel like I have to come clean or I may gain 5lbs just from carrying it around ;-)

I was in such a rush this morning that I left the house and didn't realize I had forgotten to brush my teeth until I was half way to work! Oh dear :-( I can't go to work with stinky breath, especially since I've started drinking herbal tea for breakfast, because let's face it my breath smells stinky after that anyway. But now I've gone and forgotten to brush first! Before my diet I had been keeping one of those car packs of gum, the little plastic container with a pop top, but on the diet I'm supposed to stay away from chewing gum because it has sugar in it and I'm not supposed to be eating any sugar at all. Since I wasn't supposed to chew gum I decided to hide the container in my console and just resume chewing after...I thought to myself "Oh dear not only are my teeth dirty and my breath is smelly I don't have any way of fixing it...BUT WAIT! I do! I have gum!" I seriously debated a few times if I should actually use it but the funny taste in my mouth won out over the thought of gaining minimal weight from a tiny chiclette of gum.

I'm pretty sure it wont be a huge, huge deal because it was such a tiny piece of gum but I just couldn't justify going to work with my mouth feeling like it did :-) WHEW! I feel better already!
