The moment she wanted to change
Maya noticed that her hardest cravings were not random. They happened during the commute home and again after dinner. That made the habit feel automatic, but it also gave her a place to start.
The first product choice
She wanted something portable that could fit into the moments when cravings showed up. She compared 2mg gum options and chose a mint flavor she could keep in her bag and car.
The routine that helped
Instead of waiting until the craving felt urgent, Maya placed gum in the places where the craving usually happened: her bag, her car, and the kitchen drawer. The goal was to make the better next step easy to reach.
What she would tell someone starting now
Her advice was simple: do not wait until the craving is already winning. Put support where your habit usually happens.
