Acne and Sugar?? Print E-mail
Saturday, 27 December 2008

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'.
