i'm a big crunchy food fan. i'm also one of those annoying people who likes to crunch ice (hey, i live in the oven that is Phoenix.. its so refreshing some days)...
i miss my fried mexican food.. taquitos, taco salad, chimis, tacos..
fruits like apples, most raw veggies.. croutons... popcorn.
its only been a week but i miss those things already.
Foods you miss

Why cant u eat burgers? or pizza? I go through periods where I eat IN N OUT burgers 3x a week...chemicalfan wrote:Pizza, burgers (fast food style), and "ice cream van stuff" for me, really miss those. Basically, food where you wouldn't normally use a knife & fork, and it's not practical to do so.
I also kinda regret having eat mush every time I get an adjustment (normally corned beef hash, which is ok but it's a shame that I don't get a choice over it).
I don't understand why people eat less or avoid certain foods whatsoever. I can eat everything and anything and I do.
The thing is thought that even BEFORE braces I had this weird habit of breaking up all my food in little pieces. I never liked to bite into food because I don't want to ruin my lipstick. So I do the same thing now, I always cut up my food in pieces. Actually I eat home and alone most of the time so I just break it into pieces and eat it but I eat more than ever.
I read things about people losing weight because they can't eat and I don't understand. I eat all day and all night long and I eat everything...
I can eat nachos just fine... tacos too but then I always break it into pieces... As I said I already did this BEFORE I had braces so I'm just doing the same thing...newbie wrote:Nachos or just chips and dip is what I miss the most.
Also:
Salads, cereal, hard candy, carmel.
Shoot I miss just not having to think about what I'm eatting.
I can eat salads too... not in public but at home and I have a waterpik which gets everything out of my braces afterwards... I can eat snickers too as long as I break it up into pieces...
I never liked biting into foods even before braces because I found it unattractive and it would ruin my makeup... braces made no difference in my eating habits at all. I think I eat more than ever... (and I'm still a size 0 btw)
