How to stop picking my lips
It made me
happy that I did it
 "Rewarding"
How I did it: I guess I never truly had a reason to do it, since I had never had a boyfriend or anyone to keep my lips soft for. So when I finally started dating this guy, my lips became less of a place for me to go for stress because the relationship was (and still is) not stressful at all and I find no reason to relish in my lips anymore to cure anything that is wrong in my life. I guess I am just wishing I had taken less time to do it, because even though it was fun to pick them...it was not fun to see the result later on in the week when it was not able to be repaired until the skin grew back. Lessons & tips: Find something you want to do more. It has to be a strong distraction, don't force it. Chapstick reminders always work, too. Or even nasty nail polish, if you don't want to pick and to punish for tasting icky nail polish. Resources: This site helped me, and so did my boyfriend. I guess looking in the mirror and seeing the result had as well.

20ba79 loves life .. how about you?
How I did it: just made a choice, the first day was the hardest but it was easy after that. Slapped on chap stick all day and just made sure I was aware of how often I do it. It was amazing how much I was doing it ... guess i didn't think it was that bad. but I made it happen. Read how I did it…
Brittney is taking the first step to becoming a better person
How I did it: Well, I started asking my friends if they ever picked their lips. Most of them just looked at me like I had three heads. I pick my lips when I'm bored, am unconfortable in a room, or if they are chaped. I wondered why I did this and one day watching my father in rush-hour traffic, realized he did it. I began to fiddle with other things when I get bored (or, I would do things I was procrasting on, another one of my 43 things). I … Read how I did it…
LPBraun needs to do some cardio & posture exercises!
I wouldn’t pick my lips if they weren’t chapped. Since I stopped drinking alcohol and so much caffeine, I’m not as dehydrated. My lips are certainly smoother which leaves nothing to pick at. I just need to make sure to drink more water.
I’m 18 and I’ve been picking my lips ever since I can remember… My mom has told me to stop everytime she catches me doing it… I promised my boyfriend I would stop and I’m really trying but when I’m bored, nervous, or uncomfortable I do it… I’m trying but it’s really hard to stop…

Yes, I’ve been picking today. I need to use my badger lip balm (my fave).

This is such a bad habit, and it’s something that needs my full attention to get over. But right now my attention is elsewhere. But maybe it will always be like that? There’s always something more important to focus on. I’m really trying here.

I did stop myself earlier, but when I woke up I ended up picking at a chapped spot.

ummm…..not doing so good with this. I caught myself picking while waiting for my fiance to wake up next to me. He usually alerts me if he notices.

I didn’t realize how much I had picked at my lip until I looked in the mirror. Ouch! I have to go out to eat here in a little while and I am going to be embarrassed about it. I’ve got to stop this! Thing is, I don’t know I’m doing it.
Today i am beginning anew. After all the stress from my new Masters program I was just devouring my lips & hurting myself. I’m fed up and worried about my appearance in the professional world.
My plan:
Every morning I will say OUT LOUD my goal of stopping this bad habit. If I accidentally slip, I will get up and do a brief exercise to distract my body. Of course, continuing with the lip balms & glosses and Neosporin will be included as well.
I hope that I stay serious and dedicated because I know from past experience that you just have to stop- even though its so much easier to say than do.

Just caught myself picking while on the phone with credit card company :( Time to try again!

I just caught myself picking @ my lip while I was on the phone with my insurance company. I also did it again when on the phone with my bank and while I was waiting for the computer to load a page for an account that I was opening. Maybe that’s why other people doodle when they are on the phone.
