Ha I wish! Teeth sensitivity after adjustments and the braces themselves filling up with food might put off some people, but if I see a cake/pizza I want i'll still get it down somehow :lol:

Last year I put away a full christmas dinner shortly after being wired up so it's certainly a case of mind over matter!

I want to add that in my 45 lbs weight loss, not only was it being picky about what I eat. I got rid of old junky emotional issues...men..family...anything you name it...I cleaned out my past closet...and I believe between the braces and the emotional cleanse I lost that weight...and something about not crying so much :) no matter what. It is nice to see the weight gone.

No, I don't think I've lost any weight because I'm drinking more alcohol now :lol:.
