And my skin has become a spotty mess, I have developed dandruff, whats going on, I thought skin etc was going to improve, never used to have spots apart from the very odd one! And I've actually not had a fag for 6 weeks, help!

I've had this - the reason that healthy eating is said to be rejuvenating is that it makes you look like a teenager: sallow skin, spots, greasy hair and black circles under eyes.

I am now going to go and eat a Croneface bun and drink some Wrinkle-You-Like wine.

When I look in the mirror in an hour, I won't see a single line, blemish or pore. There is a small chance this is related to the wine consumption

Do not start on the fags again though.

I've caved in and had a drink, but would not cave in to the fags again.
My mum suggested that i put some make up on to cover my spots today when i already had some on

its probably been explained already but i think its something to do with the fact that since your body is having much less incoming c**p to process that its now able to concentrate on the backlog as such within your body.

Stick at it though - its worth it for your health
