I'm doing 15 things
Like so many things, I grew out of picking at my skin. Yes, occasionally I find myself on a binge, but it’s nothing compared to what I used to do. My skin looks really great (still blotchy) and there are no embarrassing scabs or dark spots.
Once I stopped touching my skin, it stopped breaking out and the cycle ended.

How I did it

Super Duper 
How I did it: I'd been saving money for a very long time! I went through the GenkiJacs program, which I loved. There I was taught Japanese and I took a culture class. That consisted of a sweet making class, caligraphy, shrine and temple viewing, potery making.. the Japanese will stare at you, especially if you're tall. I also went to the arcades, saw Transformers 2 with Japanese subtitles, went to the beach (fabulous, starfish by the handfull) and much… Read how I did it…

Unfortunately giving plasma is a lot harder than you think, everyone wants the money.So I left the plasma center and felt unaccomplished. At first i thought i'd just see if the Red Cross did plasma, but then a really nice lady talked me into giving blood. It was a goal so i thought, tough it. They had… Read how I did it…

How I did it: i made an appointment with my hairdress letting her know what was up of course. she bleached speccific areas to look good- that took a good while to make sure it was nicely bleached- then afterwards she put manic panic in and i sat under the heat hat thing for a bit. looked blue by day and purple by night, TOO fun.

I was nervous, but it really didn’t hurt and he was great the entire time.
I’m a list kind of girl, so I decided to print out a calendar to record my morning and night weights, plus list things I need to do to lose weight and also the daily foods i eat that I’m not proud of. I started at 169.8 last night and I’m 167.8 this morning, I guess it’s a matter of not screwing that up.
