    Hey, girlie. Sorry about the sunburned nose thing. I once got sun poisoning in Israel after camping on the beach in Sharm-El-Sheq for 3 days. Thought I was gonna die. I burned, peeled, swelled, and felt like utter death warmed over.

    Drink plenty, plenty, PLENTY of water!!!!!!!! Whatever you do, do that!

    Sorry you are having trouble jumping on the bandwagon and staying on. You aren't alone, you know. Maybe you and Elfish could become "bandwagon buddies".

    It sounds like you have a short-term goal, though. Perhaps you could commit to staying on the bandwagon until your vacation next month. By the time you do that, you may be fully on board and able to continue without a struggle.

    Or, just take it in baby steps. Might start by just getting enough water. Or getting the right amount of veggies in. Or lowering your carbs a bit. Mrs. Atkins said if you just can't handle induction, you can back yourself into it, by starting to eliminate foods that are bad.

    Whatever you decide, we're here to support you, so don't stay away from this forum!!!!!!!!

    hey Finelly...
    went to the dermatologist last night....apparently i've had some chemical reaction on my face I have been using Dermovate cream because i have some exzema and acne, and the doctor never told me it was hydrocortisone cream and that i shouldn't be using it for long term........so on the weekend i had that cream plus some sunscreen... plus a bit of the sun (as I was trying to stay in the shade)....my nose looks awful...i feel like the guy int he movie "Mask" lol ...the dermatologist put me on antibiotics (pills) and gave me some lotion to wash my face (anti bacterial) and some other anti bacterial cream.....hopefully it works....

    thanks for asking btw!

      oh the other thing Finelly...we are going to Syria and Jordan next month for 3 weeks, so I'm already freaking out a bit about the sun, but hubby tells me that it won't be nearly as hot there as it is here...and we are going just when summer is ending...We are planning to go to Petra from Amman as well, and apparnetly you have to walk about 45 minutes off the track to get to Petra, I think you can go by horseback or camel back, so my mother in law is suggesting that we go early int he morning to Petra and they have some kind of rest place so I might stay there after we get to the site if the sun is really bad, and there are fans in the rest hosue to cool down in...my skin is so fair and sensitive, so I have to be careful..and especially after what is going on with my face now

      How did you like Sharm El Sheikh? We were going to travel to Al Aqaba beach on our trip, but we both feel they have better beaches here in Dubai lol and that we won't see much that we haven't seen here.... have you been to Al Aqaba in Jordan before?
