Braces aren't so bad, I think you will look just fine! Afterwards, you will look beautiful! Good Luck on getting back w/ the program, I wish you all the luck and will power girl ... We just need to focus on what we really want! In the long run, the taste of certain foods will be long gone and all we'll have left is what we DON'T want, the weight! It's better to be tough from the get-go ... Like they always say "Once on the lips, Forever on the hips" lol, someone knew what they were talking about. I got back on the wagon .... yet, once again ... yesterday so maybe we can do this girl!
