Huh? What am I talking about? Well, you see. I have decided to get retainers, cuz my teeth have shifted ever since I had my wisdom teeth pulled out (1-2 years ago). So, I asked my dentist about getting retainers to push them back into place. I don't need braces, jsut a little help.


He agreed.


So, do you think that because I'll be wearing that contraption, I won't snack as much? Cuz remember, it'll be more of a hassle to take them out, eat, brush, put them back in. lol. Might as well, just not eat, right?


So, there's my NEW device that will help me lose weight. lol. Or so I hope.

Well, I don't see why not! It is kinda gross to take them in and out. If it were only lines with a substance that made ya hate junk food and love the veggies! Now I'd buy one of those myself!!! When I was trying to decide what to major in for college, I thought that putting a particular college sticker on my car would motivate me to do well enough to get accepted!

LOL. Well, the scary thing. I actually LOVE veggies. But I'm too lazy to steam them or get them or whatevers. lol.


But I figure, why not. Let's see if it'll help me from snacking. Cuz yeah, who wants to take it out, eat a piece of say, chocolate, brush my teeth, put them back in. What a pain. lol.


I think EVERY person I know who's had braces all said they were at their lowest weight. lol. oh well. it was just funny, yeah?

Oh Cher!!! LOL-- I think it's a great contraption to use....when are you getting them? You'll for sure have to keep us posted on how it works for you! Will you be wearing them during most of the day? Or will they be for nighttime wear?

I am getting them next MOnday. And he said for awhile, I have to wear them all the time, and then can go to nighttime wear only. First, gotta move the teeth into place again. =)

I had my first pair in HS. I hated wearing it too. I lost it, cuz it was in my car and my car got stolen. That was the tops. The bottoms. I left at my xf's house and he couldn't find them after we broek up. lost them.


GRATEFULLY, my teeth were never bad, it was this horrid overbite i had. lol. so they haven't shifted all too much.


but i do need to wear them. great. now i'm going to have a lisp until i get used to it. lol
