What I'm looking forward to eat.

When I got my braces on, they gave me a piece of paper with some important information. You know, stuff like the names of the appliances, how to keep them clean, what to do if they broke, and what NOT to eat.
For the first week, I followed it to the dot. Mostly because it was physically impossible to eat anything that showed resistance, but also because I'm a good girl :] But then I tried chewing gum, and I found that it wasn't sticking to my braces, and although it was a bit uncomfortable, I could chew it and I felt it gave my teeth some sort of "massage" effect. Kinda like a teething baby chews on those nasty plastic thingies.
From then I stuck the paper in my drawer to not be seen again. I think I ate everything that I wasn't "allowed" to. Until I broke two bands eating popcorn. From then, I became more cautious.
Enough intro, here are the foods that I will be stuffing my face with once I get the braces off:

Caramel Cubes
I've been craving these so much! And haven't had them in so long because they stick everywhere and it's just a mess.




Starbursts

Probably one of my favorite candy, I love chewy stuff! I've had this with braces, but same with the caramel cubes, they stick to everything ;-;


Popcorn

I love popcorn, it's one of my favorite snacks. I've eaten very little popcorn since I broke my bands, just for the fear of it, but I can't wait to watch a movie and stuff my face with popcorn.


Caramel Popcorn

I don't think I've had caramel popcorn in years (many, many years), but since I couldn't eat popcon, I've craved this. I don't even know were I can buy this...





Candy Apple

I was not a huge fan before, but you know how when you can't have something, you want it more than anything? Exactly. So I might have my mom pull her candy apple recipe, or I'll grab one from Google. I just need to take a huge bite out of it :]



So those are the foods that I'm looking forward to eat once I get my braces off.

  1. Funny, a caramel apple is exactly what my daughter in braces wanted that led to her coming up with "alternate" recipes. Feel free to check them out at www.BracesCookbook.com fyi. Another resource is at the American Association of Orthodontists' website, at www.braces.org/JustforKids/recipes.cfm (though definitely not just for kids). Good luck, it's worth it.
