1 hr pull free :)

oof was 2 hrs pf then just pulled 2 hairs from my problem spot. They both came out soooooooo easily. As if they werent even attached. blehhhhh.

So it's 8pm, ill be pf til 9pm.

Ugh, I"m gonna use the f word. All you haters, cover your eyes!!!

FAIL!

I totally understand how you must be feeling--I need a break, too!!! I'm sorry that work is so rough. Also, I must say, I think it's a good idea for you to come here multiple times on an hourly basis to keep track of your urges and pulls. Maybe I should do that too, since I'm having trouble getting back on the wagon and staying on it. I wish we didn't have to beat ourselves over our relapses, though, and feel like failures because of it. You're wonderful and awesome and definitely not anything of a failure at all!

Ugh... I don't even want to check my bad spot.. I know it must be a teenie bit worse tonight.

Bed time for me, it will all be easier in the morning.

K, checked my spot, it's not worse. But it's definitely noticeable now. Luckily I can pin my hair over it. But... if I subconscious push my hair back, which I'm prone to do, well, there it is. Genera thinning of my middle part too. I wear it side parted.

I CAN do this.
My hands are still.
My hair is thick and full.
I can do this.

(positive self talk)

damn middle parts of the hair. That's where im thinning too. I hate it and i get so self conscious. I'ts ok hon. Try and try again right? YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Do you enjoy working from home? No office politics for u, which i ABHORRRRR!!!

HUGS

Yeah it's always been my bad bit.

I really do enjoy working from home. I like making my own hours. But.. I always end up working late at night or on weekends which I wouldn't do at a studio job. But I can take a day off pretty much whenever I want. I can work from bed all day. I can drink while I'm working! (not much).

Well I set myself a limit of 3 hairs today, and I've pulled 3. All subconsciously. No more for me! Going out with my friends tonight so it's doubtful I'll get any urges.

:)

Every single success we have counts. It's hard when we pull from our problem area, however, it's a success every single time we say no, drop the hand.

Here's to keeping the hands busy.

Hope your night out is fun for you!

Thanks! Just said no. Sucked. But I'm happy I did. I made it! I achieved my goal :) whole day only 3 hairs, all subconscious :)

hey babe.. back on day one againnnnnnn today.. so i know what you going through.. and thinking of you..
well done for achieving your goal.. you are inspiring me once again.. We can do this ! i know we can.

We all inspire each other :)

Thank you! I have the same goal today. I'm allowed a max of 3 subconscious pulls and if I don't exceed that, it's a successful day. Willpower!!!

Good for you!! One step at a time.

One problem with working from home is that there is no one to watch you when you feel the urge to pull.

Willpower - yes!!! Remember, also the 12-step techniques... (to paraphrase) you are not alone, accept help from a Higher Power to help you through this. I totally champion willpower, but that alone is not enough. I have a friend in AA who explains that it is all about letting go and accepting help.

Well I don't necessarily believe in a higher power, but the day I decided I couldn't do this alone I sought help on the Internet and found this group. And because I know I can't do this alone, I continue to come here :)

Oh and I've never had a problem pulling in front of others, they never notice. So being front of others never really helps at all. Working at home and in an office equals same amount of pulling.

Sam: u took the words right out of my mouth. It was the same for me. They day i decided i couldn't do this alone , i sought help on the internet and found this group. (ok i just typed all that when i could have copied and pasted. im a dumbass hahaha)

i laughed out loud at your drinking while working comment hahahaha. Work from bed all day. HOW NICE!! Especially nice on a cold day :P You sure have some willpower though. I don't think i could. I'd end up watching tons and tons of tv shows hahaha and be VERRRYYY lazy.

Have fun with your friends hon!!

Its good you limited yourself to 3 hairs. It's like giving a child ONE piece of chocolate because you know they are going to be bounching off the walls if you don't set rules :P

HUGS
