It’s official
Two whole weeks pull-free. Probably the longest I’ve gone without any pulling since college. Even though it’s only been a couple of days on the NAC, it does seem to be having some effect. I don’t feel the need to pull or even touch my hair for that matter. I was responding to a message on the yahoo group and shared that I eat the roots of the hair I pull out and immediately felt disgusted with the very idea of doing something like that. As I write it now, it seems like a bizarre thing to do– not an enjoyable one.
The one downside is that I’ve turned the focus on my hair to focusing on controlling my eating and some body dismorphic issues that have plagued me in the past are seeming to resurface. It doesn’t matter so much not to be able to touch and chew and pull my hair if I can feel the sharpness of my hip bones…
Well, one thing at a time I guess.
