Introduction/Just Found this site

I pick my face mostly and eat it. I also pick my nose and eat it. I've been doing it at least since high school maybe earlier 10+ years. I never knew there were other people who did the same thing as me. I never pick in front of the mirror unless I'm just squeezing a zit which I don't really get much anymore. I mostly pick when I read or watch TV. When I avoid doing both of these things my face clears up. It's hard to avoid though because I LIKE to read and my fiance would think it's weird if I never watch TV or movies with him. I am sure he has seen me picking before but he has never said anything about it. I never really wear makeup or anything to try to hide my picking and I think this helps me to not pick as often. I also try to keep my fingernails short so I can't do as much harm to myself. I actually have went for months without picking and am amazed by how good my face looks but then I get a book I have been waiting on or I am forced by my boyfriend to sit through some movie that I could care less about and I just start right back up. I have also just started school again (already have a bachelor's in business going for sub in accounting now) and obviously there is a lot of reading involved so my face currently looks like a pizza and I'm 29 years old. It's just embarrassing. Now at least I know I'm not alone!
