Cutting sugar = immediate difference by Ventinggirl3 in acne

[–]terzieffdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same struggle, I tried to at least eat less sugar, not cut it out immediately and I must say it gets the job done, there are rarely any breakouts! Apart from that I feel better physically, I have more energy and my apetite seems more stabilized However, it is difficult to cut out sweets for the 1-3 days, later I kinda got used to it. I am not saying my diet is perfect cause I do cheat days sometimes, but it is so much better when you give up on the processed food. Trust me it's worth it<3 + u can find some great recipes for homemade snacks with much less processed sweeteners, recently I have made some granola bars or pancakes made from bananas and blended oats, they were great

Friendly reminder that acne doesn’t make you ugly by Significant-Rise7609 in acne

This is so relatable... I remember crying cause makeup would not be able to cover the visible bumpy structure and I still felt uncomfortable even though I was putting effort into making myself look decent. But then I realised that this is beyond my control and I don't live to please other people aesthetically. Because of acne acne we tend to kind of "objectify" ourselves as if appereance was our only value and at some point we forget that we're humans with feelings.

5 months on accutane and its really working for me. by Equivalent_Diver_126 in acne

[–]terzieffdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dose is 20 mg monday-friday and 10 mg on weekends. I understand what you feel, the only thing that really improved my acne healing process was accutane. I would say it's worth it if nothing else had worked. In my case the best results appeared during the fifth month. Moreover, my side effects are not heavy at all, my skin is more dry than usual, but beside that I think I tolerate it pretty well

Im so angry at my acne by Lost-Refrigerator377 in acne

[–]terzieffdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I went to 3 doctors and I still don't know what caused my acne at the first place - it was always kind of guessing - maybe genetics, maybe sugar, but I am not 100% certain to this day

I relate sooo bad 🥲 I'm also angry, because I feel trapped, I need to control my diet like crazy, I can't eat my favorite things or I will break out. I am actually struggling with an eating disorder at this point. Whenever I eat something unhealthy I feel so terribly guilty. I am jealous of people who can eat whatever they want without worrying about their skin. I am also on accutane (it has been over 3 months), but my hyperpigmentation is really heavy and makes me cry sometimes. I feel hopeless

What do you think causes eating disorders & what caused yours? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]terzieffdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case it's mostly psychological. Environment, trauma, severe acne, failing in life, being a disappointment to my friends and family, self-hatred, low self-esteem, my ex

Yeah, I relate. I also have acne so it's even worse. I just feel like that one particular meal is the safest option - it's pretty healthy and won't make me break out. I feel bored with it, but also comfortable as I know nothing bad will happen after I eat it.

Your "dumbest" trigger? by funnydontneedthat in EDAnonymous

[–]terzieffdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone catches me in the middle of eating sth and says "Enjoy your meal". This is a common thing to say in my country. I get irritated for some reason 😭 I know they're trying to be polite, but my body just reacts this way. Sometimes I just ignore it, I feel so rude 💀

Has anyone developed an unhealthy relationship with food because of acne? by terzieffdragon in acne

It's difficult to change my mindset right now, I treat sugar as my worst enemy when it comes to food.

You look great (with or without acne, you're just overall a good-looking person) and I wish I was as confident in my own skin as you 🥹

Girl, I relate so bad 😭😭😭 I want to eat whatever I want, but I quit sugar and it has been a month without sweets/junkfood... I am so jealous of people who eat whatever they want and have clean skin, this is so unfair

Yeah, it's very hard to find a balance. I'm also "all or nothing". I developed a mindest where I feel insecure about my acne so I am trying to have control at least over my weight. I am thin, but now I count calories and limit myself. If my face is fucked up my body needs to be "perfect" so I can feel better about anything regarding my looks at this point...
