Picking

I pick at my face... If I see something in the mirror, I squeeze, or scratch... I pick scabs, and I am never satisfied with the texture of my skin... anywhere.

I hate how they keep coming back, and I hate the scars I am leaving even more.

I scratch because I'm upset, when I'm nervous, when I'm bored, when I see mirrors, and get angry at what I see...

i do the same thing!
i try and train myself not to look too close....

i haven't cut for about 10yrs....but in the last yr i start digging my nails in again
all over my body.... =[
i manage to leave my face pretty much alone cuz i hate scars....but the back of my neck is really messed up atm.

i don't see or feel myself digging my nails in untill i suddenly smell or see blood =[

i need to stop and i know it...but it's no longer a matter of will power
=[

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
