The Toothache Diet
Well, things got quiet here for a bit, but it’s not without good reason. First I went into a straight week of one family member after another having a birthday (including me!) with Father’s Day in the middle of it all. Also in the middle of it all was me fighting a bad toothache that causes horrible headaches. Not a fun way to spend a birthday.
Because of the bad tooth I have been on a Slim Fast diet for three days now, not simply a diet plan, but a literal Slim Fast diet where the only thing I have been having every day is Slim Fast drinks. I can’t chew solid food at the moment, so I have been drinking Slim Fasts. It’s not too bad, I’m on day three (or is it day four?) of nothing but Chocolate Royal Slim Fast Optima drinks and have lost roughly 3 pounds. Go me! I’m trying to regulate it so I drink more than I feel like drinking just so I don’t starve my body and have too fast of a weight loss, and I plan when I get into town to pick up some soups and creamed soups like chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup and such, give me better nourishment than just the Slim Fast. Apple sauce would be something else I should be able to eat okay, so I’ll get some of that too.
I would love to be able to go to the dentist and just say “Fix the teeth, please.” Unfortunately that is something that I can’t afford. Would cost between $3,000 and $5,000 to get the work I need done, and that probably does not even include dentures or whatever else I would need when the teeth were finished being pulled. Sucks not being able to get health insurance.
