Lil Miss : Recommends

It’s the beginning of a new month and so far I haven’t had any breakouts. I know it’s only the 5th day, but it still seems promising. I usually start the month with a few pimples on my face. I figure it must be my hormones because they come about the same time every month and only stay for about a week. Even though the pimples aren’t around very long I can still do without them. I hate the way they feel on my skin. If you can believe it, I’m actually more concerned with how they feel than how they look. They always feel so huge when I touch them. They also hurt a lot.

I hope one day I will grow out of these pimples. Anyone who thinks pimples are just for teens is crazy! I have more pimples in my twenties than I ever did in my teens. I never thought about reading acne product reviews or purchasing acne treatment years ago, but now I do. I guess that’s another myth you can dispel.

I mentioned in a previous entry that I was considering taking diet pills as part of my new diet, but I’m still undecided. I know a few people who have taken diet pill, but they never really stick with it so I’m not sure how safe or effective they truly are. I’ve always thought abut trying diet pills because I need help losing some pounds, but I’ve always worried about the side effects of diet pills. I know nothing is completely safe, but I hear a lot of horror stories about diet pills and supplements.

I wonder if there are any herbal pills that can help with weight loss. Those seem a little less scary. I wish that simply eating healthy foods and working out was enough to lose weight, but with the slow metabolism that I have it’s almost impossible to lose anything substantial. I don’t want it to take a year of dieting just to lose as little as 20 pounds. That’s just ridiculous.

One the eve of starting yet another new diet, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m a yo-yo dieter. I never thought I was one of those people, but I definitely am. I don’t buy into all of those fad diets like a lot of other people, but I do start and stop a lot of different diets. I can’t seem to find one that I can really stick with. Usually my reasons for stopping a diet are lack of motivation, illness, discouragement, or money. There are some other excuses, but those are the things that usually get me down.

I don’t expect to lose 20 or 30lbs over night, but I do expect to at least lose something when I’m eating the right stuff every day and working out. I’m not sure why my body begs to differ. Maybe it needs extra help. I’m not sure how I feel about diet pills though. I’ve never taken any, so I’m a little apprehensive. It’s just a frustrating cycle.
