Don't tell, but I have to admit I've had popcorn. In fact, despite the fact that I've never been a huge fan of the stuff, I seriously craved it when I first got the braces. I also ate corn on the cob. My husband finds it more than entertaining because I look sort of deranged when I've eaten it. I'm like the the Crazy Corn Lady with it stuck in every nook and cranny. It takes half hour in the bathroom to recover. But it's so good!
Believe it or not, I never broke even one bracket!
What I do miss are whole raw almonds. Those I can't have, and I love them. Ironically, we just bought a bag at Trader Joe's for Brian to eat. I'm nabbing them instead.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
