I live for the snack. I love to graze & still eat large meals. It’s basically my specialty. Life skill, if you will.
Tonight, or this morning rather, it’s 4am & I’m debating if I should have a snack. Usually it’s an unequivocal yes, but I have a new dilemma.
I started Invisalign a month ago. It’s really hindering my snacking. Perhaps for the proactive brusher or the one that doesn’t worry about cavities, it’s not such a big decision.
For me, it’s a cost/benefit analysis.
What will I eat that will make it worth taking out my aligners & warrant flossing & brushing?
I have waffles. I could eat that. I could make eggs. A legit breakfast. I could have cereal (not worth it).
I have a quiche in the freezer.
Look at all the stuff we bought tonight for the kid’s party.
I could munch on some of his stock & no one will notice.
But the thing is, I’m lazy. The baby is literally sleeping on top of me right now.
Before I had bedside snacks & would admittedly go sans brushing, in emergencies. (The before brushing doesn’t stand up to the intermittent night snacks.)
I suppose I could wait until morning for a big breakfast. I’ll be famished. But at least I won’t have to brush an extra time.
