" You might think my life is always totally glam, but I used to have horrible acne\u2014deep, boiling pimples\u2014the kind that hurts so badly, I didn&amp;#039;t want to leave my house. My friends said they didn&amp;#039;t notice, but I&amp;#039;d say, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the only thing anyone can see!&amp;quot; No amount of concealer and foundation could take away the texture of my skin, the embarrassment I felt, or the pain of those raging pimples. I was miserable.  At the same time, I was this skinny girl who could eat anything I wanted without gaining an ounce\u2014so I did. If you really are what you eat, I would have been a bean burrito with extra cheese, extra sauce, no onions! Sometimes on a Friday-night drive-through run, I would order a double cheeseburger with french fries and onion rings. I was the poster child for being both skinny and unhealthy\u2014and I had the zits to prove it.  I thought I&amp;#039;d tried everything to make my skin clear up, but I didn&amp;#039;t realize all that fried, greasy, processed artificial crap was setting off a hormonal surge that sent my skin into crazy town! Once I cut out the junk, I saw such a major difference that I felt like an idiot. It not only cleared up my acne, but it also gave me this huge amount of energy. I realized our bodies are these amazing machines, created to be good to us when we&amp;#039;re good to them. I could hear my body when it craved more veggies or water. I had energy to spare, which was something I&amp;#039;d never felt before. I couldn&amp;#039;t believe I had been drowning out my natural cues for so long! I started reaching for avocados and tomatoes because they made me feel great. I went from focusing on how my face looked to focusing on all the awesome things my body is capable of.  For the first time, I really worked out. I got so strong, it made me want to see what else I could do too. I started surfing and snowboarding\u2014I felt like I had the world at my fingertips. I&amp;#039;m not saying that I never indulge in onion rings anymore\u2014the best part is that I do. When you start taking care of your body, you not only appreciate what it can do, but you appreciate those moment of treating yourself, too!
