Hahaha, glad yesterday’s post entertained you guys! It is quite funny, actually. And just to clarify, I DID use the bathroom before I left for my run. I’m guessing I was dehydrated from the heat and that’s what caused the emergency.

Anyways, today’s post is a farewell. A farewell to a lot of my favorite foods:

And the list goes on and on and on………

But I’ll be saying hello to a lot more smoothies, scrambled eggs, soup, yogurt and oatmeal.

Because this has happened:

Yes, I’m an adult with braces.

And I hate it.

Invisalign worked great – it’s been 15 months since I started the process – but they could only do so much. There are a few stubborn teeth that just don’t want to move. So the orthodontist recommended I finish up with braces since they’ll work faster.

It sounded all fine and dandy when he talked to me about 3 weeks ago, but when Monday rolled around it finally started to sink in that I was going to be an adult with braces.

Yes, I know the end result will be worth it. And I know it’s only 4-5 months. And I know other adults have braces. But that doesn’t mean I hate it any less. My teeth haven’t stopped hurting since Monday afternoon. They seriously KILL. I never thought I’d ever say this, but I actually hate eating. I can’t chew anything because of the pain and the food gets stuck in the braces. It’s gross. Ugh, I feel like the dorky kid in an Adam Sandler movie!

So when you see me, lie and tell me they look great, k? Awesome, thanks.

Did you have braces as a kid??
