stop picking

I have been doing so-so.

I woke up the other morning to find my face covered in spots! It was a complete nightmare, and picked away to clear up my face (just in the short term at least).

However I’ve started using this new cream and it’s clearing up nicely.

I’ve got some real motivation now, I don’t want to be the ‘spotty kid’ anymore, and when I turn 18 I really don’t want to be a walking talking spot! Plus I have this family do soon and I don’t want to look bad for the photographs!

Here goes… I’m taking this a lot more seriously from now on!

I think my face is looking better, though I must admit – lets not beat around the bush – I haven’t entirely stopped picking.

It’s habit, and a bad one at that. I’ve cut down, which is a improvement, I guess the reasoning behind why my face looks less inflamed.

Hopefully the sun will do me some good over the holidays and I’ll have no reason to pick!

I have to confess that this past week has been incredibly stressful and hard for me, and I pick, when I’m stressed.

I’m trying hard not to, but it seems its getting worse, so I pick in the hope that it will get better (and to temporarily make my face presentable). I know for a fact that this isn’t the case, so why pick? That is a question I’ll probably never know the answer to.

I’m thinking some new remedies and creams might help to clear up my face and prevent the picking!

At least something positive has already come from this… I’m cutting my nails regularly!

It’s become a habit, and a pretty disgusting one at that.
I only pick when I’m not really doing anything, and it seems to be whenever I’m browsing the net, or watching TV… the more idle tasks.
So, this means:
A) I need to be more pro active, thus preventing the time I have free to pick
B) Reduce the time I spend watching TV and browsing the net
The worst is when people pick in public, and yes, I have committed that crime a few times, and being left with scars is not what I want. I may be too late, but there’s always time for improvement, so I’m going to ditch the picking, and find some potions to reduce the amount of spots I get.
Oh and finally… note to self: cut my nails, so I won’t be able to pick!
