Maryland people?

Hey guys,
It's Thursday the 29th of April and I'm still pick free, I know the 21 days thing to make or break a habit...Well I was researching sites for scars, microdermabrasion and chemical peels...I came across SkinRX.com what a site...I don't know if it's a good site for all of us...but it was interesting checking it out. I found a bug repellant for you Reformedpicker that might be worth a try on a site under OrganicSkinCare search on the internet. I think it was Organicgoodlooks.com. See I think about you guys ;)when I know someone is in need or looking for something. I also went to the library and copied the article we are all looking for about CSP...March issue of the SELF magazine...since Angel could not forward it to all of us...the article is two pages...it's a very short article...Hi Werido13, I'm glad that your friend has talked you into eating better, you would not believe how important it is to eat good...you really are what you eat we want you around for a long long time

I'm not in maryland, clearwater, florida, but it is raining. it's very true about the grass always being greener, no matter what you talk about! I work in a law firm with my own office but wish I could work at petsmart to be around all the animals! granted, I'd probably wish for the office job when I wanted to take all the animals home! I have only 2 cats right now, a really big kitten and an 11 yr. old. the kitten is from the SPCA and as soon as he's more comfortable I'm getting another cat. I can't have enough. I'd like a rat or a big bird but I just don't think that would work well with the cats.

SOS, I'm going to go find your skin care people since they are in clearwater. I'm a Clarins user, it's pricey but the darn stuff really makes a difference.

I know it sounds odd but it's comforting to know I'm not the only one with all these crazy feelings. I'm 37, not planning on having kids, I have enough going on. I have a goofy husband, been married a year. I don't have too many friends, mostly just aquaintances. If I could get a handle on the meds I'd probably deal with life a bit better but right now I'm just taking it one day at a time. Every day I wonder what in the world I did before the interent and this is the first chat room I've ever joined. I had to do something for the picking though. I read these teen threads and I'm so happy for them that they have this kind of information and don't have to feel alone.

anyway, enough sad stuff. I'm hoping everyone will start feeling better. Oh, Weirdo, you won't have scurvy, there are too many suppliments in food these days! you cracked me up. you do need to eat healthier so anything that gets you there is a good thing!

ok! now that "maryland" started & it's about what we're
relating to again... everybody~ try taking evening primrose capsules and high potency b multi vitamins...
see if you can notice a difference, especially after a couple of days w/ a good dose of veggies, protein and complex carbs... YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE! i also use "dermalogica" products... i think that it's good to change around once in awhile... (have'nt tried proactiv yet!) we all want good skin!!! like exercise, diet, blah blah blah... it works!it's long lasting IF you make a change... have a good end of April!!!mish.

Hi to all,
It's been 2 days since I checked in. It's a rainy Monday here in Maryland...My weekend was great!!!...and I did not pick after Thursday...So I'm back to the beginning at my 4th day pick free...I want to say Hi to ltl...I loved reading your post here...welcome...The older I get the more I understand why some people choose not to have children. My sister is 35...married for 3 years and does not want to have children, which I think is prefectly fine...different strokes for different folks...I use to use Clarins too...it is a good line...but the more research I've done and the more I have learned about toxins...I chose to try and find and use a line that is 100% natural and toxin free...My face is doing the best it ever has...I ordered products from Anna Bellini to try also, I don't like to wait a week or 2 for EvansGarden...Although I love her products so far the best and will order more...I just gave my face an herbal tea steam bath that really helps my skin which I got from MoutainRoseHerbs...I love pampering time...Well it's that time of month starting today and besides the physical discomfort, my mood is really great...Which is not usually the case...I have been eating really healthy and not alot...Well I better say Goodbye :)I'll check in later

Hi Sos- stay strong! I think counting becomes counter-productive for me at certain points- it's too much pressure to not screw up. But on the other hand, I want to make it to 21 days because I have it set in my mind that then NOT picking will be my new habit- it's a tough call. I'm trying to just forgive myself if I slip up and let it go- then if I do this successfully it counts as a good day However, I also fully admit to being able to rationalize absolutely ANYTHING!!!

[sos]

Hi to all and R.P. you are so cute...

Your right I have to stop counting cause it's not working...I totally screwed up today...It's May 12th Wednesday and it was a beautiful hot day...and I was in and out of the bathroom all day...I'm not doing good...Tomorrow will be better...I will always need this support group and will always want to help others...much love to all...stay strong...you are beautiful...your a wonderful creation from God or from whom you believe in...
