Hi. So if you read my last post, I
mentioned that there are some big changes taking place. And why not just launch right into it
today.
This
happened a couple weeks ago. Like
I said before, having babies takes its toll on your body and for me, my mouth
was no exception. During all of my
pregnancies, my gums were a bloody mess.
(I mean literally, not in the British swearing kind of way). Anyway, on top of that, I think all of
the stress and anxiety of being pregnant and raising these children actually
caused my teeth to move. Why you say?
Well, I began doing this jaw clenching thing at night and gradually over
the course of 14 years, my bottom teeth came out of alignment, which then
pushed my upper teeth out….blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. Here’s the crazy thing: You see, I’ve
ALREADY DONE THIS BRACES THING. FOR FOUR YEARS!
HENCE,
I feel like I’m 13 again. Not my
most favorite age looking back.
But yet some fun and stirring memories, for sure.
I can honestly say the pain has been
beyond recognition. For reals,
birthing my babies did not hurt as bad as the constant nagging pain in my
mouth. I dunno, maybe that’s the
mother amnesia talking. (OH, I AM SOOOO
doing a post later on mother amnesia.)
But
seriously, this whole braces thing could just also be a means to an end on
transforming my body because let me tell ya, ME HAS BEEN STARVING. I will never EVER take solid food for
granted again. Smoothies, yogurt,
and oatmeal is just not cutting it!
But HEY! I’m down a pound. GRIN.
