Despite the possibility of teasing from family and friends who are on the opposite side of this battle…..
I daresay this…
Finally, after what seemed like a futile effort, I have managed to bring my [...]

Yesterday, I got the news from my ortho which I did not want to hear but expected. The long-awaited freedom from braces before the end of this year won’t happen.

Never in my whole life have I dreamt I would ever say this (and my other girl friends will KILL me for saying so…)
I SO BADLY NEED TO GAIN SOME WEIGHT!
Probably half of those pounds lost can be blamed on my braces, I tend to think, but yoga has somehow brought my metabolism back into [...]
