It's the holidays again – UGH! It's so hard to resist all those tempting sweet treats. I didn't do so well this year and am afraid to step on the scale. AND – my acne has really flared up.
I have had mild acne my entire adult life (I am 45 now!). I can usually manage it by using over the counter benzol peroxide. But sometimes it flares up and I get these huge pea-size bumps that are painful and embarrassing. I'm sporting three of them as I type. Wah!
I think my flare ups are related to eating too much sugary foods, and stress. And those two things usually go hand in hand. If I eat too much sugar, I feel like crap and it stresses me out. If I am stressed out, I am tempted to eat bad foods.
Ah well, incentive to be good the rest of the holiday season and NOT eat any more sugar. I will report back when I weigh myself again. I worke dreally hard over the summer to lose 3 freakin' pounds. I got from 145 to 142. I'm pretty sure I'm above 145 right now…thus my fear of the scale. I like to wait until I am back to my 'thinner place'.
Omg thats what I’ve been wondering as well. I’ve been getting to much sugar lately due to my kid bringing home candy all the time and I take some so he doesn’t eat too much, but just as well I can’t resist so I end up eating it. Good luck on resisting the sweets, I haven’t had too much luck with that, but I hope you do.
I also struggle with sugar: D
