Thank you.
I really need to break my tongue-chewing habit! Before Fast-5, I would chew on my tongue a bit, but then get something to eat. Now while I am waiting to break my fast the chewing goes on a lot longer.... my tongue can't take it!! I don't break the skin or anything, just kinda knead the tongue with my teeth.
