Guilt Flossing
I got my 6 month dental check-up postcard in the mail this week, telling me when my next appointment is scheduled.
I was always a good girl. I cleaned my room, I excelled in a sport, I got great grades, I always went to Sunday School... I never wanted anyone to be disappointed in me. It scared me that anyone with any amount of authority could possibly be disappointed in me.
That included my dentist.
I don't ALWAYS floss. I know that I should. I know life would probably be better if I would, but I just don't. I got scolded by my dentist ONE TIME. That's all it took. I was a flosser morning, noon and night... For about two weeks.
I started again this week. Consistently. I promise.
