Re: Help! I'm close to giving up! :(

I'm trying to eat less but more often but it's hard when combining with fats all the time. I don't like olive oil with fruit but love coconut oil with it but it's a pain having to melt it all the time. Can I just have fruit on it's own if it's a little bit then eat oil with larger portions?

Re: Need advice, 16 days in and struggling

Hi Nish sorry for the late reply, had a busy weekend. My periods are a bit all over the place ATM as I came off the pill and got a non hormonal coil fitted as I didn't want to be messing with my hormones anymore as I was sure it was making my acne worse. However my periods are so irregular and I am ...

Re: Need advice, 16 days in and struggling

Hi Nish My acne seems worse than yours, I must have at least 20 if not more spots at the moment but all seem to be healing now :) I'm hoping it's not just because of my monthly cycle, I usually get flare ups just before my period then calm after the storm lol so fingers crossed once I'm clear I'll s...

Re: Help! I'm close to giving up! :(

Thank you Aytundra for your message! I tried the yolks and sugar - really yummy! I did have like 5 teaspoons of sugar with 2 egg yolks though! Too much sugar? Sure that's not good for my teeth?

Warm sugar and water also pretty nice! Thank you for these hints :)

Re: Help! I'm close to giving up! :(

That's the depressing part! I'm really craving some chocolate but don't want to cave in and waste all my efforts. But how long will it be before I can eat chocolate or a hot snack? Weeks? Months? A year? :/ don't know if I can do another month without any, I used to enjoy it so much!

Re: Need advice, 16 days in and struggling

Thank you for your reply I think you are probably right in that my skin just needs longer to heal, I am going to try not wearing makeup when I'm in the house and see if those days are better. I used to eat quite healthy in that I ate a lot of fruit but also had a wide variety of cooked foods and mea...

Re: Need advice, 16 days in and struggling

No I haven't drank any tea at all. Don't mean to be rude Aytundra but do you have any advice for me? Your questions seem a little odd without any explanations/reasoning.

Re: Need advice, 16 days in and struggling

I've generally just had my tea (tomato cucumber olive oil salad with fruits and avacado - same thing I have at lunch). I think it only feels better though because I've washed off the makeup & oil that has developed during the day
