Thanks so much for everyone's helpful responses! Fiber is not something that I thought of so I will definitely keep that in mind as well.

Thanks for the responses. For fats I eat a couple hand fulls of nuts a day, eggs a couple of times a week, flax seed in a daily green smoothie and I cook with extra virgin olive oil. The only high s...

For roughly around a week I have been attempting to start a lower Glycemic Index/load diet (along with eliminating most processed foods and most sugars/artificial sweeteners) in hopes that would aid i...

Interesting...I never think *why* I want clear skin, but more so that I don't want acne. I think the reason I want clear skin.....I don't want to hide anymore. I am sick of putting on 5 layers of ma...

How much soda are you drinking that it's that hard to give up? I gave up diet pepsi 2 years ago.....it sucked at first but I feel SO much better not drinking soda all the time (it even helped me lose...

I'd personally keep up with it for at least a month to see if there are any changes. A week might not be enough time for your body to adjust. I went off of dairy in September....didn't really help m...

You could consider working from home. That's what I do. Although I do have another job too.   Yeah i wish i could but i have no idea how to do that & i know for a fact that the work at hom...

I came on to look for this exact topic....mine is partially because I started a new sulfur spot treatment. I have used sulfur in the past but not this brand/% and my skin is already dry from the wint...

I can relate. I tend to be a hermit because of my skin....BUT I am trying to break that. I think I have gotten to a point where I know I need to be content with who I am despite my acne. I know I h...

I have similar to this as well as acne so I'm interested to hear what others think it is. Mine is mainly forehead and have had for quite a while so I know it isn't a breakout happening for me (I very ...

I'm not 100% no sugar but I'm greatly reducing it. Its hard to avoid in some things like my coconut creamer but i'm avoiding it mostly everywhere else in my diet. I'm trying to also avoid Splenda.

You should go to school. College isn't as bad as you'll think it is. Especially if you take night classes...it's usually older people and so they most likely won't care about your acne. I take both...

I think even though I suffer from acne, that doesn't give me a biased opinion. I used to be overweight and WAS NOT attracted to overweight guys. I always found thinner guys to be more attractive and s...

I have dated guys with acne and never thought twice about it. Though, I do agree with nakedsmurf that girls who have skin problems are probably more accepting of guys with skin problems, so I can't sp...

Some girls AND some guys will definitely be very cruel when it comes to acne depending on the serverity of it. back when I still had substantial scarring from a bout of acne brought on from protein sh...

Certain parts of my jaw send shooting pain down my body! Sometimes even popping them bring me nearly to the point of tears. It's weird...some days it hurts soooo much more than others. Yesterday wa...

It didn't physically hurt so bad. The days it doesn't hurt I typically think of it so much less....but on the days of crazy inflamed zits I am so obsessive about finding my cure. Unfortunately, it...

When I was (much) younger with much less acne.....acne on guys was never an issue. I mean I noticed it on them but if he was attractive it didn't matter. I liked a few guys with moderate/severe acne a...

Interesting log! I have been wanting to do something similar but also monitoring my sleep, stress levels, facial cleaning regimen, lifestyle and monthly cycle (as mine is at least partially hormonal)....

I think I've gone back to day 1 like 3 times now. But tomorrow will be Day 1 (again).

Maybe you will inspire people with that though. I think sometimes when people have acne they feel limited to hide in the shadows instead of maybe pursuing more public dreams (whether it be on tv or ev...

I just started using the oil cleansing method about a week and a half ago and so far I am loving it. I only use it at night and my skin has felt so hydrated and the texture seems to be improving sligh...

Don't let it get you down! Any time people start examining close up to anyone's skin they will see some sort of imperfection. Still stings a little if people make mention but at least its just a bit ...

Yay congrats on getting as far as you have! Every day when I look in the mirror I think I would just be happy if the hyperpigmentation went away so I could really see what my skin looks like. I woul...

Dejaclairevoyant - I can relate with the food and social crap. My situation is a bit different....i am a dairy-free vegetarian and have a sunflower seed allergy. I recently became a vegetarian and re...
