Not healthy but I really don't care at the moment

I am eating ramen noodles with an egg in it right now.  I know its really unhealthy but I just had a braces adjustment today where they did A LOT of pulling and proding and tieing (not sure if that is the right word) a tooth to the wire to pull it forward.  

I am eating this because 1 its soft, and 2 it will keep me full for awhile before I have to sum up the courage to eat again.

    I *hated* adjustment days. Feel better!

    Things are really moving, the tooth they are pulling forward has already moved to (almost) where they want it. And they just messed with it today.  I go about every 2-3 weeks now and this appointment and the last one is has caused more pain than the very first one where they pulled teeth.

  • Ouch.  Eat what you want!  Adjustment days suck!

  • I haven't had braces in like 14 years and I still vividly remember that pain (I had a tooth "pulled" to where the doctor wanted it, too.) 

    My dad always bought me a Carvel shake when I had an adjustment (I was a chubby, but happy, kid.)  

    ETA: He also bought me lots of Tiffany's jewelry when I was in REALLY bad pain. You should mention that to your DH. Tiffany's > Ramen noodles.
