Hi,
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I kept asking myself why I would do such a thing to my otherwards attractive self, and at first I thought maybe secretly I was scared of looking pretty, as weird as that seems, but after reading everyones notes, I realize that I think we all suffer from some sort of perfectionistic issues. I've always been totally parinoid about my weight and I never feel like the zillion things I do are good enough. I'm going to try closing my eyes, sitting and really thinking about what's bothering me, or what I feel inadequate about next time I pick. Then I'm going to ask myself what the best way to deal with inadequacies are, and if the inadequacy is stupid (which most of them are), then I'm going to tell myslef why it's ok to be just the way I am. It might also help to see a natropath who practices NEAT. They will be able to tell you what emotional trama, or what anxiety, or what imperfectionistic feeling is making you pick. They are very good. I'm going to make any appt. and I'll let you all know if it works. In the meantime, I'm really going to try to get to the bottom of why I'm doing this.
