new tactic

Hey buddies!
I'm doing really well right now! (except for the fact that my parents got onto me for the little hole on the front of my hairline... which is actually going away- it's not new)

I am posting because something very exciting happened! ...and the way I responded was exciting as well! ...on top of all that, the result was outstanding and quite productive!!!
Now that I have properly piqued your interest and curiosity, here it is:

So… today I was fixing my hair up trying to make sure all hair was fastened securely to my head so nothing would dangle out and tempt me. Once I was all done, my roommate told me that the spot on the side of my head probably wouldn't pass as normal and without notice. Saddened by the fact that this was the first time she had noticed a spot, I fixed my hair covering the spot. Then I pulled out a pad of post-it notes and wrote messages from God about how He created my hair as it is and says it belongs on my head and that I shouldn't doubt Him or insult His "masterpiece". These post-it notes are all over the dorm and on various items that I use throughout the day. It's really helping! This is exactly what I need to be reminded of so that I don't resort to pulling.

I wrote this on March 15 to a recovery group that I am involved in. It is so great that everytime I see these I not only feel guilty for doubting God's decisions and insulting what he dubbed a "masterpiece" but I also feel empowered and emboldened. These post-its directly attack the thoughts that lead to or accompany Trich.

Now I'm on Spring Break and not in my dorm. Soon I will be posting them all over my home. Hopefully my family doesn't mind. :) I do have one on my computer and in my wallet. The one on the computer is the MOST helpful! I see it all the time and especially when the urge is greatest! Thanks for your prayers and support!
