My best friend sent me this today, and told me to read it. I just wanted to share. It was a real wake up call for me. I didn't realize he thought that, and it really upset me. But now I'm glad he showed me. I have to accept myself for who I am, otherwise how is anybody else supposed to.

amazing quote.

I have to wonder though, if you guys pick at your skin, and you notice a scar or a few scars from it, doesn't that make you want to stop picking?

Of course I want to stop picking. Many things make me want to stop. It's just not that simple. For me, I don't even realize I'm picking until it's too late.

Today was a good day. I came so close to picking. I don't even have much to pick at anymore, which is good. I think I only have 2 active spots. The rest of my face is healing. My marks just have to go away now. Anyways, I still have blackheads on my nose and I was ready to squeeze some out. I know that nothing good comes from it, because when I do my pores get really big. For some reason I stopped myself. I won for once. :] And let me tell you, it feels good. I was so close and then I put my hands down at the last second. I don't have to pick. My face is getting better, and I'm going to let it. :] I'm in such a good mood, and I feel like I can do this. I am doing this. I doubt anybody even reads this anymore, but I wanted to share my enthusiasm.

Keep on, keepin' on. You can do it. :]

Here's a picture showing 9 weeks ago and now! I think there is a pretty big difference. :] I also don't pick as much. It's only on occasion now. It also helps that there isn't very much to pick at anymore. Well, I'm feeling pretty good and working towards my goal of clear skin by the end of the summer. Good luck everyone!
