Have you ever had to give up doing something you love, for something quite silly?

Asked by MilkyWay (13745points) September 7th, 2012

I have had to give up the one thing I love doing most. Eating. (Properly)
I’ve had my braces fit in (dental braces) and now, I can’t eat most foods for at least 3 months, and have to stay away from some of my most favourite food for the coming 2 years.
Chocolate, fizzy drinks, biscuits, burgers, grilled sandwiches, pasties, chewing gum, nothing. I’ve been eating things like noodles and stew for the past week or so.
I’m the kind of person who lives lived to eat… all for something as trivial as a set of straight teeth.
I’m not saying I want to back out, but I guess I’m just asking whether you sacrificed something that meant an awful lot to you, for something that seems (or seemed at the time) quite trivial.
