I've always wondered what it would take for me to decide that pulling would no longer be worth it. Would it mean costing me a boyfriend? A friend? My family? Fortunately, I have understanding people...

Sooo... I started law school. Yay. I had three wonderful months where I didn't pull out my hair AT ALL and I had beautiful little eyelashes growing in. And now I want to cry. I can safely say that...

Weeeeell... I kinda feel bad because I haven't re-done my goals, per se, but ever since I tried penalizing myself with money, I've done SO MUCH better on my hair. I've lost $40, but I've only had two...

Well, I pulled three eyelashes this morning. I tried reallllllllllly hard to keep my hands away from my face, but I had a super-bad urge... I guess it's back to square one on those. I only made it 10...

I made it one week! And I don't know if this is normal or not, but mentally it's almost harder to keep from pulling after I reach my goals. It's like my brain goes "okay, you did it. now back to...

So I've "pulled" one eyelash (without realizing it) that I'm not counting - judge me if you want to. But I don't want to let one accident ruin the streak I have going... :)If I can make it until...

Four pull-free days and counting... I feel so awesome. :)

Three days pull-free. And the kicker? I stopped taking my meds (I know, I know, but I have a good excuse). Last week I came down with a horrible stomach flu, and couldn't keep water down, much less...

I'm recommitting, dammit. After reading about the pull-free-a-thons going on over at the "beating trich" group, I realized that other people just like me have gone months, even years without pulling....

So... this has not been a wonderful week for me. After getting over being sick the week before last (and no one at work noticing. harumph.), I come down with a killer stomach flu this week. I'm...

So.... I feel like I'm just totally backsliding here, and I keep trying to tell myself that I'm not powerless to stop it, that I have control over my own friggin' hands, for pete's sake, but it's not...

Frick! So I was doing well this weekend when I made a discovery: I think, for me at least, trich is a lot like alcoholism. I can't stop at just one. I had several pulling episodes of 50+ hairs, and I...

So. This morning's been rough, but STILL no pulling. That's almost two days for lashes, brows, AND hair! ALL THREE! YAAAAAAAY! sorry. I just get excited.

Sooo... about 24 hours without pulling! YAAAAAAAAY! I've decided that even though some people on here are doing weeks/months without pulling, it's okay for me to do hours/days at first. I need all...

So for a few months, I was doing really well not pulling hair - brows and lashes were still a struggle, but I thought I was really getting somewhere with my scalp. Well, no more. It's like if I pull...
