I miss popcorn soooo badly! I tried having some for the first time in 4 months this weekend... it didn't go well AT ALL! I won't be doing that again!!! Good luck!

Well, talking about foods, cravings, and food no-no's, I'm lucky in that I don't like the sugar-type candies, I'm more of a chocolate and caramel person (the soft caramel that tends to be tucked inside chocolates, not the really hard kind you eat by itself) so I can pretty much give into any junk food craving I have. Really the only thing I haven't allowed myself is ice. Yeah, ice I love to crunch on chunks of ice after I've finished a drink, but that was on my ortho's no-no list, so I've withheld that pleasure from myself.
But anyways, as to what I'm craving right this moment: Thin Mint girl scout cookies... which are sitting right in front of me. And as for non-food cravings: sleep. It's midnight where I am and I have class at 9:25 in the morning, but I'm not sleeping. Nope, instead here I am on Archwired (and I'm also studying for my Animal Nutrition Exam that I have on Wednesday)
Really, I washed my sheets earlier and I'm too lazy to make the bed quite yet.

I am dying to give my husband a big fat kiss, not just a peck on the lips. I did try to eat stuff I would miss the day before my braces, but I didn't think to give my husband one last great kiss . I can't wait to get these off so I can do that.
Food wise, Ritter Sport with hazelnuts without being careful and because of my bumper on my molars, I still can't chew salad enough to get it down. I love a good salad, the greener the lettuce the better. Thankfully, I can still have my morning coffee, glass of red wine with dinner, and a huge bowl of ice cream at night. Oh, I can still drink Margaritas, my absolute favorite drink .
I was thinking weight loss when my braces first came on. Forget that when you can still eat a LOT of food with LOTS of calories in them .
2 months down, 10-12 to go!

Popcorn with real melted butter and parmesan cheese. Guess I won't get any of that for awhile.
I just got braced today, so we had a curried dish last night. I don't want my light color ligs to get stained.

I've pretty much been eating anything I like in terms of chewy-ness but the one thing I REALLY miss with my clear ligs is..... RED WINE! I never thought it would bother me that much - I can live without curry and not having bolognese hasn't been much of an issue but I would kill for a glass of red! That fruity richness, the warmth as you sip it down.... damn it!
p.s. On Monday I actually did have my first curry since getting braced, my friend had invited me over for dinner so I didn't feel I could say anything. Man, they tell you to avoid the stuff for a very good reason - bright yellow mouth got sorted out with an emergency ortho visit today!

So you said, "yes", no doubt!I forgot to mention so many people at work say to me when I'm eating my lunch - "Are you allowed to eat that with braces??"
I've made a discovery: chewing beef jerky (or biltong - South African beef jerky, best stuff in the world imo), um, can bend wires. I felt something funny at the back of my mouth a couple of days ago, had a look and found that I'd bent the wire between the last two teeth. Gave it a shove and it straightened out immediately. Whew! I like the stuff too much to give it away, but am being a bit more careful in shaving it really thin now.
