This Shit Is Working!

Well, my (dad's) insurance may be paying $200 an hour, but dammit, i'm seeing RESULTS!
Results for the firs time in a long time.
i can see my hair filling in.
i can imagine by summer, i can get a fucking haircut...by a professional!
a haircut by a person who IS NOT ME!
oh, i am psyched.
i used to think i was untreatable.
i was an idiot.
i recommend a shrink.
really. someone who specializes in trich.
i was lucky and found someone in my city.
i'm optimistic right now. that's not saying i don't pull anymore. i do. a lot.
but i am able to control myself better.
i may relapse, but i know that it won't be like before.
this is a fucking great feeling.
let's hope it lasts!

Book! Shrink! Helping????

Help For Hair Pullers is the name of the book.
Go and buy it. They have it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
It's a great book. Really enlightening. Might not help stop pulling, but at least you won't feel so bad about it.

Tips from shrink:
I've been pretty bummed lately for a few reasons, so I've been doing quite shitty at my techniques.
He suggests muscle tensing. It's hard to explain, but I haven't really done it anyway.
Logging helps, but yesterday, I pulled like, 24 times at work. Horrible!
Having supportive people around is a big plus.
My boyfriend gently says my name if he sees me messing with my hair and I have him ask me everyday how I "did" which is code for "did you pull?"
Time will tell.

I'm seeing a shrink!

So, I started seeing a psychologist that specializes in trich.
Rad rad rad.
I'm super excited.
He gave me this book. I can't remember the name. I'll post it. It's super interesting.
I've been logging (at work) all the times I pull.
He's also teaching me habit-changing techniques.
I'm so lazy. I really need to try harder.
Booyah!

Still have bald head, fat ass

I'm re-starting my previous post of losing weight and gaining hair.
Let's see how I do.

Goodbye Fat Ass, Bald Head

So, I'm working my way to eating better and not pulling.
Today is Day 3 of No Pull Week for me.
Let's see if I can reign surpreme.
Booyah.
I also weigh like, 148 lbs, which is fine and dandy, but I want to lose 10 pounds.
This will be very hard, since I'm in a good place where I don't gain or lose weight.
Don't worry, I'm 5'7", so weighing 138lbs isn't unhealty, it's normal.
