Get braces like me and you will drop pounds like hot cakes!

Yeah... I had braces like 17 years ago....I lost lots of weight...but put them back on soon as braces come off. Also, birth control can really make you gain weight.

what am i not getting...what does having braces have to do with losing weight?? do you eat less or something. i had braces when i was young but it didnt affect my eating or anything. id need to have my jaw wired shut for that to happen!

I wore braces for 3 years, it definitely affected my eating habits. Every time they got tightened for about a week I could only eat soft stuff like soup, mashed potatoes etc. I also had to have like 2 oral surgeries and I definitely lost a few pound in the following weeks.

Yes, the braces really make you curb your eating habits. I don't want anything sticky so many of my favorite junk food and candy are out.

I am also embarassed to eat certain things in public or at work because food gets caught in them. Brishign at work isn't an option. The sinks are nasty! So I either eat soup (living on Healthy Choice microwavable soup) or a small bag of pretzels.

Also, when they get tighened, I can't bite down on a thing. So all of this has made me learn to eat less and I am not as hungry.

I liek the weight loss, but I hate my smile. Can't I have both???

I still crave sweets like crazy,

Re: How much do you weigh?

I have always been very curvy and obsessed with my weight. I always felt like I was the heaviest woman in the room.
I think as women we should embrace our curves. It is what attracted my FI to me and I bet a lot of men love them.

I love my curves, I just wanted them a bit slimmer. Plus it's hard to buy clothes that accommodate a smaller waist and big hips

Isn't the negativity that we put on ourselves crazy?
Yet we can do so many things that a man can't.
I think that most women these days are such strong, independent professionals.

So we do we beat ourselves up?

I think the grass will always be greener..........

I wish I can be like my FI and say F$$$$$ the world. I really wish I was conceited at times because I think it is better than having low self-esteem.

My weight is such a terrible obesession for me. I have always been so super skinny. Waif-like. Since i quit smoking last year, I gained almost 20 pounds! I went from about 105 to 125! I am 5'4'. Whenever I complain about feeling 'fat' people stare at me like I am a cuckoo. My boobs however, have gotten huge, which is pretty cool.

I had exactly the same thing!

Re: How much do you weigh?

the fact that so many women are the same weight and yet when you line them up next to eachother they can look sooo different...underweight, avg or overweight at the same number (as well as the fact that ppl who weigh the same where diff sizes) suggests to me that the number on the scale doesnt mean a darn thing (yet it drives us crazy). Its all how you carry it and about body type more than anything. Knowing all this still doesnt seem to help me...Im determined to get to a certain number all the time. Id love to be like 135 for the wedding but closest ive gotten in past few yrs is like 138 and i couldnt maintain it for very long. I did it w/ WW which totally works but when i stopped i gained it back. I really want to start back up again. I feel SO uncomfortable in my pants. Its really just my tummy that I dont like.
