With what? The way I look. I'm trying to cut back. Ladies, as of today I'm hoping you'll hold me accountable for what i'm about to say... I'm so done. I'm done with all the makeup (anyone who knows me knows I wear a lot and won't leave the house without it, even just to go to a gas station.) I'll only wear a little (meaning just the base powder, slight blush, mascara.) No more 20-30 minutes just trying to perfect it. No more crash course diets. With the help of a good book (the Martyr's Song by Ted Dekker. good book for anyone down on his/herself.) and a few good friends, I've been eating 2 meals a day, no less than that. This also means staying away from the pro-ana sites, magazines, and anything with the word "thin, model, diet, ect." in it. Also avoiding stores like Hollister, A&F, and any others with those pics (you know the one's I'm talking about...) plastered on the walls of every dressing room. If I can go 30 days with this (no, not including prom. that's my day off for the makeup deal :P ) then I'll have reached my goal. Life will be a bit easier too after that. ...I just wish it was easier. Any advice on how i can survive this? Anyone joining me? (btw i'm double-posting this to the ODF too.)

Well i will be praying that God will give you strength to do this. As for the makeup....... i would suggest asking your mom/dad/simbling or who ever to take the makeup away until the 30 days are over....it may sound strange....but it might work. um i dont know about the shopping....like the other people say just try to avoid the mall.
