Candy-less!

October 31st, 2004

Argh, I think I’m really starting to get annoyed with these braces.

They only hurt my teeth when some kind of outside pressure is being applied to them, which makes chewing nearly impossible. Brushing my teeth feels weird, too, since I’m scared I’m going to apply enough force to brush the stupid things off. I guess it’s just a matter of adjusting, which is going to take at least another couple of days. I’ve hardly been eating at all lately, since the pain is so bad and since it takes so long to eat anything that’s not liquid. Plus, the hassle of brushing teeth after eating anything (partly because I’ve been told to, and partly because I’m paranoid) makes eating things a lot less attractive. All things considered, braces are a sure-fire way to go on a diet. :tensed: Cut down on sugar and starch, they say. Since I can’t chew right now, I might as well cut out vegetables, fruit, and meat. That leaves… milk, juice, and water. Oh, and tofu.

Worst of all is, I won’t even have a single piece of Hallowe’en candy 😥

Trust me, you get used to it. I know it’s not much consolation, but eventually it’s all over. Also, don’t worry about breaking them off, you need to be like biting rock candy to do that. Good luck.

I think I got my braces right before Halloween too. That really sucked. Especially since I was addicted to those Werther’s candies.

Ugh. I had braces for two long, painful years, and trust me, you get used to it. Eventually. -_-;; I totally feel your pain hun, but don’t worry about it, it’ll soon be over, ok? …Pity about those Halloween candies though. 😀
