Unexpected but exciting NSV!

This may seem strange to most people on this forum (since many are older than me) but I came to the realization that I've been having a gradual NSV since I started this. I'm a teenager who has suffered from acne since sixth grade, which is probably around when my eating habits went down the drain. Since then, I have tried so many different creams, ointments, and pills. Nothing has worked, and a few months ago I essentially gave up and decided I would be cursed with it until I was well into my 20s. But, I started eating healthy and exercising at the beginning of February - and now, my skin is CLEAR! I still have scarring, of course, but my skin has not been this acne-free since I was around 11, I think! I didn't even expect this to happen or consider that if I had just eaten better, my acne would have gone away, but I am so happy! It really tells me that it isn't just that my weight is dropping - I really am becoming overall healthier!

    I am the same way, I am 25 and still if I start eating crappy I will really break out! But once I am practicing healthier habits, my skin clears up so much!

    Congrats on this discovery, I know if you are like me, it really helps with confidence and overall puts me in such a good mood when my skin is clear! :)
