Week 1

Total hairs (brows+lashes) pulled out: 24

I know this seems like a lot, but it's probably the smallest amount of hairs I have ever pulled out in a week!

Notes: I'm glad I started this journal. It's motivating me to limit my pulling and keeping track of it really does help. Here's hoping the number only decreases in the following week!

Day 1:

I pulled out five hairs today, which I consider to be quite an achievement. First I pulled out a right eyebrow hair when I was bored in class, and pulled out another one later because of a bit of stress in class. At home, I pulled out an eyelash from my left eye in the mirror which was bothering me because it was curved downwards. I also pulled out a right eyebrow hair in the mirror because of an urge. Finally, I pulled out a right eyebrow hair while reading in bed. I didn't even feel it: my hand was just roaming there from habit.

Day 2:

Only two hairs pulled out today! I spent the morning pulling at my right eyebrow (which was painful), but didn't pull anything out. Then I pulled out a right eyebrow hair while bored in class, and another when stressed.

Day 3:

I pulled out six hairs today. When doing my makeup in the morning, I painlessly pulled out a right eyebrow hair with my brush and two left eyelashes when passing my fingertips there. In class, I pulled out a right eyebrow hair but didn't really feel it. Then in the evening, I randomly pulled out yet another right eyebrow hair while passing by a mirror.

Day 4:

I only pulled out one hair today! It was from my left eyebrow, and I pulled it out at home because of an urge.

Day 5:

Three hairs pulled out today. I pulled out a right and a left eyebrow hair while bored in class, which I didn't really feel, then a left eyelash at home in the mirror.

Day 6:

I pulled out a total of four hairs today. At home in the mirror, I pulled out a left eyelash whose length was bothering me. In the car, I pulled out two right eyebrow hairs when my hand was roaming there. At the end if the day, I pulled out a right eyelash which was bent after I removed my makeup.

Day 7:

I finished this week with a total of three hairs pulled out. While I was working, I pulled out two right eyebrow hairs from a mixture of boredom and stress. In the evening while looking in the mirror, I pulled out a left eyelash from an extreme urge.
