I realize there's a bunch of weird stuff on here, but most of my previous frustration with diet stemmed from cravings that were caused by the poor quality of air in my room. Glad I made it out that.
I realize I have food sensitivities, but I should still incorporate these low reactive foods into my diet in order for me to heal. I should just concentrate more on avoiding the bad foods and gaining data on healthy foods.
Next I'll work in some probiotics and whatever else in my big meals
Lucas89, This was what I've been getting at!
Too many toxins, Thyroid not functioning, food intolerances ~~~ Leaky Gut?, Candida overgrowth
My cheat log is for my LEAKY GUT, not my veganism! I love being vegan/vegetarian cuz I can eat cookies, poptarts, pizza, burgers, all that, but nothing that's bad for my gut.
Urge to Cheat Check list:
uncomfortable seating
Room needs new air
Room too hot or humid
I know I'm not the first one to think of this, but what if the second amendment was proposed or supported to help ensure that the United States would not easily fall in time of war? Whatever. nevermind.
I was just saying, the United States is a business, while the United States of America is our home and the country we live in. I mean this literally. Look it ==========
I don't just hold shit in here I'm not supposed to eat. I binge until I wanna throw up and then throw it all away. Good bye oatmeal cookies and 2 boxes of poptarts.l
Isn't fucked up but good at the sa,e time that the one snack I got to help keeo myself from cheating gave me a big awful ugly cyst that lasted 2 weeks, but all this food I've been cheating on has barely done a thing? Well, yogurt, here I come!

5 Guys
Cow's Milk
Too much Wheat
- Pie Crust (Whole Wheat)
- Pasta Noodles (100% wheat)
5 Guys: 2 Veggie Burgers made my face super oily with bad inflammation and breakout on left side of face
Cow Milk: Gives me hideous cysts on front cheek area, often alongside of nose (all ugly) Very hard to get rid of
Too much Wheat: 2 entire Wheat pie crusts in two days gave me a cyst in left temple area; A bunch of 100% wheat pasta caused cystic inflammation in various areas (also came with 2-3 days of constipation)
Poptarts: Seem to digest well. I've been eating an entire box a day for 2 days, and a couple days before this, with no noticeable reaction.
Keebler Elf Fudge Stripe Cookies: I felt them tearing my gut up. I'm sure they could do some damage if enough are eaten, but I hadn't noticed any significant damage after downing a package.

I've been constipated for 2 (possibly 3) days! I ate the second pie in a row the day before yesterday. Clearly too much wheat is a terrible terrible thing. This cyst better be gone tomorrow. I've got important things to do.

My roommates poptart looked so good sitting in the refridgerator 2 days ago. I can't by the fruit and cinnamon I want until tomorrow when the food co-op opens. I don't even really have that big a taste for the poptarts. I really want that hot fruit cinnamon pie I was thinking about making. Oh, well. Might as well have some fun on my last night of cheating.

Craving for poptarts. CVS didn't have the kind I wanted. Had to bike to Walgreens before it closed at 12:00...
Got to Walgreens. Found the poptarts, yes! ... Looked over at the milk. They had almond milk, but I didn't really want the whole jug. Just want to dip the poptarts and try it out. Walk towards the counter. Wait! They might have a smaller bottle in there! Too late. They'll think I'm stealing, and I'm too much of a pussy to face the anxiety of that. damn.
Wait! There's a CVS right down the street! If I hurry and bike there, I can still get there before 12:00! Yes! Just in time. They got milk, but aww! The only small bottles they have left is vanilla flavored milk. 
Fine. I guess it will have to do. hmm. Might as well get a mini $1.00 thing of Lucky Charms So I don't waste any of the milk. "The store is now closed. Please bring all items to the checkout." Oh, they don't have it... Yes they do! It's over here by the $1.00 things of cookies! Ooooo! They got Keebler elf fudge stripe cookies... mmm... Naw. I'm not having any of that tonight. I don't even have a taste for it. Walked to the self check out. Start checking things out. Damn it, I want those cookies! It's too late now. The employees are right here and they will be pissed.
Hop on my bike and ride home thinking about those cookies. I don't even have a taste for this damn cereal anymore, and barely have a taste for these dry ass poptarts. Man! Oh, well. I don't need to be eating that anyway. Get home. Opens poptarts, munching away. Man, these aren't getting me nearly as high as I thought they would. They're not potent at all. Sips milk. Eww! Vanilla is overpowering. Guess I'll take a bit of my roommate's milk for the cereal. Oh, that's right. Cow's milk gives me nasty cysts on the front of my cheeks! Damn. Well my roommate's will just have to do. Man, I can't enjoy this cereal. The risk outweighs the pleasure. Oh well, I'd better hurry n finish so I can knock it out of the way. Ahh. That was Okay. Not as good as I expected, though. Back to the poptarts. Man, these are not getting me high at all. The blueberries got me higher than this. Spits out the last of the poptarts after chewing.

I'm gonna go eat some blueberries now.
Cheating is okay
What works best for me is to confront the food, take it in, and say "no." "No. I'm not gonna eat you." Anything. "I don't need you. Yeah you look good, but you aren't always as good as you look. And I don't need you, anyway. " "Yeah it's hard, but hey, it's not supposed to be easy."
Then when I walk away, I feel so much better.
Know what foods get you the worst.
I know that a single Lunds doughnut can give me a cyst near my ear that will last a month and a half.
I know cow's milk gives me ugly cysts on the front of my cheeks that are hard to get rid of.
I know eating a full pound cake from Lunds barely causes any acne.
I know a whole 13 ct pack of cookies don't do too much damage at all.

I just got finished eating 75% of a homemade peach cobler. It was very good, and I didn't eat the whole thing in one sitting for once! Drake: "I'm so- I'm so- I'm so- I'm so- I'm so proud of you." Remember that craving for the Keebler elf fudge stripe cookies? Well I passed them at the store, and the big pack was on sale for $1.99. Damn. Well I just finished eating them, and let me say they didn't have shit on the peach cobbler. Dipping them my roommate's milk didn't even help. I guess they were $1.99 because they were about to go bad? Aww well. Throwing the rest away. Probably just going to stick to healthy homemade fruit tuff from now on.
Also saw at the food co-op a jumbo pack of organic blueberries for $5.99! Awesome! It looks almost 3X the size of the smaller $3.99 container, but I'll check the measurements later.

Today I ate two veggie sandwiches 5 Guys. Super good, but they're a no go. Experienced oily skin and large inflamed acne on lower cheek. Going to my local vegan organization for meal tips... eventually...
Uuuhh, I didn't realize this was getting so many frickin views. So lemme tell you about myself!
I first started getting acne when I was 11. When I was 12, my acne turned cystic. When I was 16, I finally got tired of it and decided to focus all of my energy on getting rid of it! On May 4, 2014, I creeply asked this girl I was in love with - out. I wasn't in her state at the time, so I couldn't ask her out in person. She was a vegetarian, and I was already concerned with other species, so that pushed me to become a vegetarian.
In 2015, I'm finally mostly clear. Turns out, my shit diet as a kid caused leaky gut, so I had to change my diet to heal my gut, thus curing my acne. I still get acne if I eat shit foods, especially foods that make me constipated (I've got a cyst now). But it's rare, and the more I heal, the less it will happen.
But there's still ONE HUGE PROBLEM! This stupid nose bump scar! Imagine finally clearing your horrible cystic acne, just to have a stupid scar n your nose that looks like an embarrassing pimple. It sucks! wtf man? If anyone at all has any information or help to give to get rid of gosh darn thing, it would be much appreciated.

Today I ate at burrito Loco. Had 2 black N pinto bean tacos with good guacomole (I usually don't like guacamole). The quesadilla my uncle had was teasing me. So I went back later and got my own version of one: black n pinto beans, with the onion stuff and cheese. mmmm! So good!
Gonna have blueberries and oatmeal approved now. Worst case scenario is still better than cookies n cake.
So, today I went to uptown Lunds and found Organic Blueberries for $3.99! Wtf? My eastside Lunds is fucked up! They never cook anything right, and their blueberries are always $6-7 and seem to be less plentiful! Sure, the uptown ones were a dollar off, but that's still cheaper than $5.99!
What is your diet like? You stop gluten?
Uuuuuuuh, My diet was a low histamine gut healing diet. So I had to avoid grains as much as possible. I only ate fruits and vegetables, and eliminated fruits and vegetables I reacted to. It was basically low histamine vegan (coincidentally).
I had to take out:
Apples
Cabbage
Onions
Garlic
and more
I ate:
Sweet potatoes
carrots
butternut squash
kidney beans
pinto beans
cilantro
asparagus
blue Berries
pears
and more
Right now, I've been adding more foods in like garbanzo beans, almond milk, etc. It's cuz my gut has healed some. But it's still not finished healing, though.

Cow Milk
Today I tried adding Black beans to my Kidney n Pinto recipe. It was good! Taste was balanced, but it's more tasteful without the black beans. I felt my skin react funny to it, so I'll research and monitor black beans as I eat.
Tried sliced baked sweet potato as buns for the beans! It makes a good burger, and it's vegan! Oh my gosh, it's so good!
Everytime I drink cow milk, I get big potentially cystic, ugly pimples around my front cheek to the area right on the lining of the nose. They make me look especially ugly, and are hard to get rid of. They are deforming (more so than most acne). They also tend to be lightly painful, and discomforting.
My diet is vegan, but I'm vegetarian status.
Adding
Mushrooms
To Attempt
Mushroom veggie burger (5 Guys style)
Mushroom Phobia
So, I used to have a mushroom phobia. Growing up in Atlanta, I saw a bunch of crazy shit in the Georgia woods. I had phobias of most plants after seeing that tree attack Harry Potter. The worst was mushrooms. When I was little, I saw a bunch of messed up looking mushrooms. I remember one day, I saw this all white toy mini cute looking toy chair and table on the ground near a tree. I went to pick it up when I realized it wasn't a toy. It was a deformed mushroom! The amount of spine tingling horror and disgust I felt was off this earth.
But they tasted good at Five Guys, so I'm gonna eat em now.
Easy Fast for Healing Gut n Weight Loss
Intermediate fasting (fasting for 18 hours, then eating 3 meals within an 6 hour window of time), is great for losing weight, and healing your gut. I'm already skinny, so I just do it to heal my gut. You can change the hours however you want. (From the Hodgetwins!)
melted vs solid cheese
I'll eat things like mac n cheese and won't really break out noticably, but then I'll eat things with more solid cheese like cheese n crackers, and have a pretty noticable break out by the next day. hm. I've noticed someone else bring this up. I think it was il90 or TreatAcne.
Melted cheese doesn't seem to do much damage. Solid cheese seems to cause temple and forehead acne
Yay! a new List!
I'm making a new grocery list of things I like to eat listed under the stores I can get them the cheapest. Remember, all organic and unsweetened almond milk! Why would they sweeten almond milk? That's stupid.

Btw, saw mushrooms at the eastside co-op (yesterday the 14th), and I freaked out. I can't prepare mushrooms from their original form. I'll look for some pre-cut ones maybe. The deformed mushrooms are the worst.
Fuck this strict diet shit. If you're on a diet, don't be so hard on yourself like I am on myself. It's not the end of the world if you give in and eat a cookie. Just move on. I've been freaking out over nothing all this time. Luckily someone pulled me out by tapping me on the back and saying it's okay to let in more foods. I was literally eating 3 foods everyday when that happened. Carrots, wheat, and oats. Looking back, it's funny.
So, next I'm trying Lettuce wrapped around beans, carrot sauce, and anything else i wanna add to it.
To Try
Bean Burrito (Lettuce tortilla)
Got back home and realized why I've been having so many strong cravings lately. My fricken room is humid as, it's like a box with no holes. And on top of that, I have no place to sit. I just have a mattress on top of a futon. So constant discomfort = constantly wanting comfort through foods and other means... So I'm buying something to sit on along with an air conditioner.
2 vital things.
First: If I cheat on some foods during the day, but eat my fiber (beans) before bed, my breakout is either less harsh or non-existant. If I eat something bad before bed, like solid cheese and crackers, I notice a breakout the next day.
Second: I can't remember but I will keep it up so I can finish it later.
Adding
From the co-op (and might eventually tour with some vegans)
Mushrooms
Wheat Tortillas (Not the bullshit with 1,000 ingredients)
More Potatoes besides Sweet Potatoes

I wish I could have a sneak in here or there! The rare occasions where I accidentally eat even a bite of something I'm not supposed to, I freak out and stress the rest of the day over it lol which probably adds more chance of a breakout! but it's not the break out that scares me.. I scar easily unfortunately
I hate this topic. Whish I could delete it.
Well today I hate asparagus - at Lunds! It's chopped asparagus and rice with sauce. So good! I love it! I'm adding this to my recipes. Uhhh brown rice is always best, but I'm going to tpsee if I can replace rice since it's a grain.
Also, when I fast all day, it's easy to say no to food. When I walk up to the food, look at it, take it in, and say no, and then walk away, I find I feel better after the fact. When my room isn't a hot humid mess, and has more oxygen than carbon dioxide, that also helps me to not have super strong cravings at home. Those cravings were what led to this post.
sas bad as you think. I'd be expecting a cyst and ge

Yeah, it sucks. I know. I just drink a ton of water after something bad, and I've realized it usually won't affect you as bad as you think. I'd be expecting a cyst and get a few small lil inflammatory bumps. But I can see why you still spazz out because scars are worse than something more temporary like pimples.
Alright,time to try something new! Adding a new food in everyday, I guess. Next time I'm at the store, i'm getting some vegan lasagnia (or vegetarian), I might try yogurt, and I just realized, most things in the American diet require grains! I guess a tad bit everyday won't hurt too bad, but I'm gonna try reduce grains to as close as %0 as I can get them.
Finally going vegan. excited. will delete all this bullshit. I created it out of fustration and bad room air which caused urges.
I'm so excited!!!!!
I want to add mushrooms
i'm going to be posting my vegan stuff on here, like if any foods bring my acne back.
Here are 4 foods that have caused me acne:
cabbage (thought to cause huge ugly cysts, not confirmed)
apples (confirmed)
garlic (confirmed)
onions (heavily suspected)
I tried fuck! I should have taken a picture of it but I didn't. I wish I did, but I've been eating peach cobbler for the past 2 days and it's sooo good! I got a big pimple that was going to turn into a cyst yesterday after eating it for a second time. I think it's the cinnamon that caused it. I've suspect I've had problems with cinnamon in the past.
Next I'm gonna try baked fruit pie with whipped cream (no crust), and eventually baked fruit pie with just the pie crust.
So I ate two peach pies with pie crusts the last 2 days, and I have a cyst in left temple area that I think is from the crust (wheat). I think the cinnamon has had a very minor effect with super small pimples in the eye bags area.
Today I'm trying fruit pie with peaches, blueberries, amd whipped cream (all organic). I'll put the fruit in the oven and put the whip cream on after they've cooked.
Next up:
Yogurt! n blueberries
Yogurt might have good probiotics and improve digestive healt, so i'm tryin it! SOLD!
P.S.
Being comfortable at home prevents super strong urges caused by discomfort. In other words, my futon must be a couch at all times when I'm not using it as a bed!
Those two pie crusts caused me a cyst that's still here 4 days later, and keeping me from going to my meeting! Uhh but I ate 10 poptarts last night with no noticeable effect.
Well, can't wait to try the good and healthy yogurt with some blueberries.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I was in the fuckin kitchen. Fruit pie without the crust, you know I had to use all organic; blueberries, pears, peaches. I be in the kitchen whipped cream whippin. Whip it, Chef Gordon Whip It! Pull the fruit out of the ov-en. That's when I pull that whipped shit out to hit it. Yeah, that's right, I fuckin hit it. Cuz that's when it's fuckin finished. And that white cream gets to meltin. Melts, mixes with all the juices. Blueberries juice is purple. Grab the fork.
So I made those vegetarian enchiladas and got away with it! <===== (just some minor inflammation/irratation)
I told you I wasn't gonna make the same thing repetitvely, so next I think I'm gonna do some vegetarian chili cheese dogs! The bread will be the worst thing about em.
future options:
spaghetti squash spaghetti
Learned a lot about animal products today. They are extremely bad for your health. They contribute to cancer, colesterol clogs, acne, all kinds of diseases.
I'm going full on vegan and avoiding too much wheat. I'm challenging myself to go out and get all these recipes! Just ate some vegan brownies some people cooked. so good...
P.S.
I eat as much as I want to avoid cheating. If you have cravings, eat that approved healthy stuff you bought! That's what it's there for!
