I am using this to help keep me accountable. I debated on whether I should post pictures, because I am super embarrassed by it. But please feel free to tell me how gross and ugly my feet look...I actually welcome it because it will hopefully encourage me to stop this.
It's summertime coming up and my feet are going to be exposed all the time. So this is the perfect time to do this.
As some of you might know about a year and a half ago, I gave up a life long habit of biting my nails. I ended up chipping my front tooth and that was the wake up call to stop. I would literally gnaw them till they were raw, red, and bleeding sometimes. Yea it was really bad!
Well, now I think that nervous twitch has carried over to my feet. Don't worry...I don't bite my toe nails or anything. LOL. That is just gross!
"my hands need to be doing something"
It usually occurs when I am watching t.v....my hands need to be doing something. So I have found myself picking and picking at my feet. Sometimes I don't even realize it. I literally have like no toenails, and the skin on the bottom of my feet are raw.
Yea...that is pretty gross...huh?
"I felt embarrassed and ashamed"
Today Rodney caught a glimpse of the bottom of my feet and yelled at me. Yea..I felt embarrassed and ashamed. So I came up with this plan. Here it is:
From now until October I will be pampering my feet.
I will stop picking at them with my fingers.
If my toenails need to be clipped I will clip them with moderation using clippers.
I will use a pumice stone after every shower.
I will keep them moisturized.
My toenails will be polished.
And because every accomplished goal deserves a reward...this will be my reward.
I have since I was a teenager wanted a tattoo on my foot. I don't know what has kept me from getting one. It's not about the cost or pain. Because I already have another tattoo. It just dawned on me recently that I am hesitating getting one, because I am embarrassed of and do not like my feet.
So come October, I will finally be getting my tattoo! I am super excited about it!!

Take up knitting or crocheting while you watch TV or exercise instead of watching TV or while watching TV.
Thanks Arlona....I have knitted in the past and it does help a little. I find it hard to knit when it is warm out though :P
You can do it, Deanna! I actually just told myself I should start putting lotion on my feet every night too, since the summer is coming. Amazing how dry heels can get. Can't wait to see your lovely tootsies (and tattoo!) in October!
awe thanks Anna! the skin on my feet is starting to heal...so that's good. I haven't polished them yet though. :P
