Acu-Pain

So I start Actuane in like...a day or two. And I'm really nervous. I had to get my blood drawn yesterday, which is about to be a monthly occurrence, and I've already stocked up on lotion and chapstick. Bring it on.

I'm so done with this acne scarring shit. I'm getting rid of my acne once and for all. My scars are next to go. Since this is going to be a long process, I want to keep everyone updated (and track my progress).

I don't want to jinx myself, because whenever I talk about this it never happens, but a lot of big changes are happening. I'm hoping one of those changes includes weight loss. We only have 2 months left this year. If I could be ten pounds lighter by 2015, it would be a miracle. I don't want to graduate looking the way I do now. That sounds awful, but I honestly just want to be able to smile when I think about senior year. And with the way it's going now, that's not gonna happen. So I'm gonna change a little bit so I can be happier.

ANYWAYS, I got a little off topic, but what I'm trying to say is I finally have control over something (my acne). Now I need to take control over my weight/health. The more I have control over my life, the happier I'm going to be.

So here are some starting pictures of my acne. I know these are all horrible angles, but let's just pretend I don't look like an ogre in all of these.
