so
i actually talked to someone about this. and i realized that this is more of an addiction
and i thought, wow, this should help me battle it
but for some reason, ive stopped trying
but im going to try again now
with the
*Don’t pull my hair for 20 consecutive days.” goal
lets try this again!
sooo
i was really in despair
because
i pretty much pulled all my lashes out the other day….
=’(
so i guess im starting over???
any advice?
i found that if i tape my thumbs with medical tape before i go to bed…i don’t pull while i read. (i read my books in bed)
Thank you so much! ncfrisbie !!!
so im a few days down!
sometimes, i think its better if i dont’ think about it because when i get caught up in the business of life, i dont’ even consider pulling
anyway
im
8 – 5
meaning,5 days no pulling in a row
so … im regressing
maybe its just a phase (pms?)
but
yeah
encouragement/ADVICE on how to stay motivated???
0 – 0
my goal is a little different
new rules.
if i can do 21 days in a row…(how many days to make/break a habit.) ill allow myself to have my ipod i got for christmas
but…if i go 21 days w/o pulling, i can get my legwarmers..
HOWEVER, the point of this two system is so that when i do pull i don’t get depressed…but learn to take control of the urges and not pull the rest of the day
so
if i don’t get my urges under control on a day i pull, then the 21 days (not in a row) start over.
im trying to make incentives for myself…yay for economics!
anyways..
so today
was 5 days w/o pulling
day 1 of 21 days in a row.
i hate driving….at least now
it seems so monotonous…especially w/ my mother in the car.
its so hard driving w/ her … she doesn’t alllow ANY type of music on in the car
and she’s typical “asian”...meaning she gets mad at me for any single detail…like being an inch to far to the right of the lane…
advice?
ive had my permit for over a year and a half now…
and i want to get my license…..im a senior in HS…
odear..
=/
so … i pulled today
but i knew that if i let myself go, i would let this day take over as my day to pull because ide be starting over again anyway the next day whether it be 2 hours away or 12 hours away. (does that make sense?)
basically
i knew i would just pull away if i let myself slip
so i created incentive for me today
i told myself,
that if i could get my urges under control and not pull the rest of the day, i wouldn’t have to start my goal over again. I would NOT count it as a completed day, but i would allow myself to just not count that day. if i ended up pulling more, i WOULD start my goal all over
and i got it under control!
so!
although i didn’t get day 3 down
i’ve definately got 2 days under my belt
day 3 is still in the process!
okies
so my goal is 21 days
then i can get my legwarmers ive been dying for
and if i do it another 21 days
then i get my ipod
so
21 days = legwarmers
42 days = ipod
BUT
ONE DAY AT A TIME
is the most important thing
so
2 days down!!! yaya!
soooo
i got my wisdom teeth removed two days ago…
and that night, i started pulling again…subconsiously while i was watching a movie…which is wierd, because NORMALLY watching television helps me to not focus on the pulling – maybe it was the annoyance of the puffy cheek??? who knows, but the next day I did better, BUT i did pull
so today! im starting over! im getting a little depressed, but i know i can really only beat this if i have a positive attitudue…
so thank you so much xlovespellx and Trixie, for being such encouragements.
and Wooleyduck for assuring me, and others, that it IS POSSIBLE
many times i think its not
but you guys have been great!
<3
bless you all
so….
excuse my little rabbit trail the other day
it wasn’t exactly necessary to write about it
but the situation is better,
and im 2 DAYS DOWN!
yay
working on my 3rd today
so
today was successful
lovely valentine’s day started out fantastic
but the day only proved to go wrong in the end
but
overall, i didn’t pull
i think i was mentally exhausted that i just couldn’t do anything…
including study for 2 tests tomorrow
im so tired
my mind is exhausted
how do you deal with the pangs of first love?
aiyah.
i never thought ide go through this
i always thought it was so stupid
and yet im a bit heartbroken.
so
i pulled today…and yesterday
it was hard
i guess i wasn’t used to having lashes so i couldn’t concentrate on anything except that some would latch to the bottom ones and drive me crazy…am i the only one who understands this?
so i was going to excuse myself and say that i only count days i don’t pull…not in a row
but then, that would give me an excuse to pull watever day i like
so
i must start over
the hard thing is
when i pull one day…i tend to do it the rest of the day.
any suggestions on how to regain self-control?
so,
i know lashes can naturally fall out
so…
if i was fingering my lashes and they ‘fell’ out …because i placed no pressure or pull on them at all…
does that count against me?
i dont’ want to count that against me when ive already gone about 14 days…
so today and last night were especially hard
because you know when your lashes seem to latch together whenever you blink? and it drives you crazy?
maybe that was just me
but i got through the day w/o pulling!
today i almost kind of did, because i was putting my fingers on my lashes like i was going to pull, but didn’t pull anything…cause i knew if i did it hard enough some would come out
but i made myself stop immediately!
so yay!
continue to pray
so that i can continue to face these urges with success
