Stop picking my pimples

It’s embarrassing to write about this. If I force myself to do so, I will want to avoid the embarrassment in writing on this topic (in addition to the inanity of writing on this topic).

I’m tempted to push a blackhead under my nose out. I’ve messed with it a little, and it’s not going to budge. Definitely one to leave alone.

I’m going to use pore scrubber and some natural pimple cream to let my body dissolve it for me and keep the area clean.

My face looks horrible! Because when I get a pimple I pick it, and then it scabs over and then I pick the scab…constantly. So it never heals lol. I haven’t gotten a pimple in a while…everything on my face is old from me picking so much! So I am going to stop picking! It is so hard for me but I am going to do it! I am cutting my nails tonight!

Pimple you and me are through I hate when I look and the mirror and jsut stare looking for something to pop. This is unhealthy and I will not tolerate it any longer. This is the dawn of the new me and I plan to keep it!

i’m going to take it one day at a time. i did not pick my pimples today!

i need to resist consistently day after day in order for me to see results and have my skin finally heal. this will hopefully make me look prettier :) thus motivating me to keep the good thing going…

...and i continue to struggle with this compulsive, destructive habit.

I resist for a week at a time at best before temptation gets the best of me, and before I know it “just one pimple” turns into a full-fledged attack on my face.

The consequences are depressing: my face becomes dry and flaky all while being covered in red marks, whiteheads and scabs.

When and how can I overcome this struggle for good?

I’m having so many problems with popping zits and not popping zits. My parents and everyone else just tells me “stop” and they think that will be enough. It’s east for them to say!

Ummm, so i have been resisting the urge for almost three days now, but my skin almost seems to be getting worse…if this is even possible.

whatevs, I guess I will just have to wash my face more.

There is a pimple forming below my nose, right underneath my nostril. I really want to squeeze it, but I am NOT going to.

On another note, I have noticed that I really used pimple picking as a stress release mechanism. Without this to fall back on, I find myself reaching for food (i.e. chocolate) more often. Clearly, this is not a good thing.

Well, I suppose I can only conquer one thing at a time, so for now, I will just focus on the picking.

I’ve been a member of this site for 3 years. For 3 years, my #1 goal has been “stop picking my pimples”. For 3 years, I have picked my pimples, blackheads and zits practically everyday, resulting in even more pimples and an ugly complexion.

However, today marks the dawn of a new era. I am no longer someone who picks my pimples. No matter how pus-y and juicy my pimples are, i WILL NOT TOUCH THEM!

If in exactly one month time I have not picked a thing, I will declare this goal achieved.

!!!

I honestly think this is a major cause of my bad skin! I really gotta try to stop myself from doing it!
