13/04/16 - Week 9
The one when I broke my brace
I’ve got a confession to make, dear reader: I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth. (To friends and family reading this, I know that this will come as no surprise to you - in fact, I wouldn’t really view this as a confession; more a passing observation.) Unfortunately, having a sweet tooth is not compatible with wearing a brace.
In my infinite wisdom (and after 6 weeks of cutting out the sweet treats) I decided to make some chocolate cornflake cakes to celebrate Easter. These delicious Easter treats contain all the ingredients that are on the NO, DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWED IN A MILLION YEARS list:
Refrigerated chocolate
Mini Eggs
Sticky Golden Syrup
It seemed like such a good idea at the time. I’d let it cool to room temperature! I’d use a knife and fork to break up and eat the cake with! That was, until, I bit down on something hard - the back anchor bracket from my brace.
Cornflake cake: 1, Brace: 0
I never want to see another cornflake cake again.
15th March 2016; I’m really perfecting the ‘dead behind the eyes’ look.
It's been almost 6 weeks since I started my treatment, and I'm sure you're all dying to know where i'm at following #currygate a few weeks ago. Good news! I no longer look like someone has attacked my bands with a highlighter! Here's what I've learnt so far: 1. I can survive without chewing gum and still avoid having death breath. 2. Yellow Listerine is amazing at reducing curry stains. 3. Eating spaghetti is a no-no. Ditto spinach. 4. Apparently it's not the 'done thing' to absent-mindedly pick spinach out of the back of your brace at the dinner table (sorry, Dean). It's my first tightening appointment (which doesn't actually involve any tightening) next week, and I plan to gorge on as much yellow-coloured curry as humanly possible the night before. Got to take my wins (and my Chicken Tikka Biriyani) where I can.
8th March 2016; definitely seeing some movement in my front teeth!
After a few days of surviving on nothing but scrambled eggs, soup and dust, we decided to order a curry in for dinner – nice and soft if you go meat-free, plus enough calories to stop the near-faint feeling I had unhelpfully developed through lack of sustenance. I all but inhaled the vegetable curry and rice and was feeling smugly satisfied with myself before looking down at the white plate and seeing the trail of yellow it had left behind. The penny dropped. Turmeric. I’m still trying to scrub the turmeric residue out of my chopping board from the paella I made three years ago. Hell, I’m still perplexed by the way a korma stained our kitchen worktop after a spillage that was wiped up in seconds. My braces are white. My wire is white. My elastics are white. Oh god. I whipped my boyfriend’s phone out of his hand and open up the front-facing camera. Luminous rings beamed out at me. The turmeric had coated every single one of the white elastic bands in what can only be described as a shade of highlighter yellow. What a schoolboy.
Goodafternoon. :)
