Hi Tim:
Yes - I think we all get to the "this isn't FUN anymore" spot (as if it were ever fun).
I am a person that has never been very interested in food. BUT, since my braces, all I can think of is a big, juicy steak!! That is probably 2 years + down the road :>(
Also - I don't like being so SPEECH challenged!! I love to express myself, and now I don't do that sooo well.
I also hate all those people that have crooked teeth and just have veneers or bonding. Of course, MY teeth were too crooked for that!! NOOOOOO, I have to have the FULL MONTY......
Anyway, just wanted to say that I understand how you feel and how hard it is to eat. I just keep focusing on the results. I just hope that I am still young enough to enjoy the results when I finally get there (I am 59).
On the plus side... My kids think I am cool for doing this.
Go figure :>)
