Update:
UGH I picked last night, which caused me to have two active pimples today. A couple of the zits that I messed with though didn't turn into anything, so that's good 
But seriously, that's enough. I'm tired of letting myself down! I'm gonna start off with a SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE for myself. No picking until next Friday (if I even WANT to by next Friday). No weirdly checking to see if my zit is getting worse/going away by touching it. No pulling at skin or resting on my hands. No rubbing my forehead for no reason.
Seven days. That's all. WOO! Start now, stay positive. Anyone want to try this with me?
Doing well! I put a little too much tea tree oil on last night and my face is a little itchy today. But I was way too tired to even think about picking my face last night and I definitely did NO picking this morning.
The red marks from my breakout are going away super fast and I'm really happy about that.
Hey, glad it's going well...don't forget we're only human we are bound to slip up a little but it's an entirely different thing picking one or two compared to going on a picking binge so just remember you've avoided it so far, you're definitely not letting yourself down!
I'm joining in too...at the minute I have the post-holiday skin which you would think is enough incentive not to pick but I find it's when I'm clearest that I find it harder, so instead of picking then actively deciding I won't pick I'm going for a pre-emptive strike!
Picking update:
When you start looking at yourself as a healthier, more responsible person....you start to do the things that you actually want to do.
Since starting my natural regimen, I've been treating my skin so nice! I'm proud of myself. I have not "binge picked" since the 31st of May. I picked ONE zit that was nothing and now it is pretty much already gone (besides a small red mark).
I noticed this the last time that I started my natural, healthy regimen. I don't feel stressed or anxious, so I have less desire to pick. I think my picking is nervous thing.
Ellie, I think it's a good idea to start when you're clear and not picking! Just keep doing what you're doing! We'll do it together!
I know, it's so freeing when you've not picked in a while, not having to worry about the self-inflicted damage!
I feel like I'm stalking your posts at the minute! haha but I can really relate especially with the nervous/ anxiety thing. It sounds REALLY cheesy but a positive attitude really does help, for me anyway, so keep up the good work!

haha, not stalking! you've been a huge help to me already! i need all the support i can get! 
Great to hear you've been making progress!
And I can relate to feeling better when you haven't picked - I always feel so horrible with myself after going on a picking binge :/
I've managed to reduce my picking a lot compared to what I was doing about a week ago - so I'm happy about that I have picked/popped two ugly whiteheads - but only to remove the top/ visible white part. (Sorry - that sounds so gross haha) and haven't picked/messed with my skin to the point of hurting myself.
Hope everything keeps going well guys
