A weight loss story
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'.
