My face is dry, red and irritated. When I eat a lot of sugar it gets this way. I start having other issues as well that I won't mention on here.
I decided today after eating a lot of sweets recently (like oreos) that I will not have any sweets until Easter. The only sugars I will be consuming purposefully will be the creamer in my coffee twice a day.
Today I had a smoothie and am having dinner soon. I had my two coffees and not sweets otherwise today.

I guess that is a good motivator to stay away from sweets! I have the opposite problem. Whenevr I eat something fatty I almost instantly get a zit somewhere on my face. I am worried because Ihad a burrito at a mexican place yesterday. Gah. I guess its our bodies way of punishing us!

That is interesting. I do not get pimples from fatty things. I am wondering if it the grease or something gets on your skin and causes it. I love sweets it is really hard to stay away from them. They also are something I usually get on sale super cheap.
I came home from going to the movies with my man on Saturday night and my daughter had made me treats that I felt I had to eat even though I was trying to avoid the sugar. She made me apples covered with cinnamon and sugar that she had heated in the microwave. They were really good. She made me oreo's that she covered in some kind of yogurt and cinnamon sugar paste. Those looked terrible as you can see in the photo but were really good.

I haven't had any chocolate or sweets in a few weeks with being sick. I know what you mean though as I get the same exact way. I don't get sweets on easter I just buy my own candy whenever it's on sale at the store.

My mother used to buy us candy for Easter then eat half of it while we were sleeping. Then she would go out and buy us more that was on sale after Easter to make up for it.
Right after this article when I went out Saturday with my man I was tired I stopped at a gas station on the way to the movies and bought an energy drink. There was 20g of sugar :-/ It made me very shaky and queasy. It was some kind I had never tried before.

For some reason when I wrote this earlier from my phone it wouldn't let me post a photo. This is the new energy drink that I tried. I basically chose it because of the pink camo lol.

Hmm well I have asthma but not terrible anymore like I did when I was a kid. My face gets like this a lot after eating sweets. It itches and gets really painful feeling like wind burnt kind of and red like that. It gets real bad after drinking soda. I was tested for diabetes before but the results came back fine. They said to get retested in 6 months but I haven't bothered.
