I think I need to ask my husband to hide my credit card
I am in the same boat! If I haven't bought it in the past month, I literally don't have anything to wear. Just bought a Land's End wrap dress in XS 2-4!! What me? Yes, me. Makes me want to shop more. But, since I'm having plastic surgery in Sept. I'm telling myself to be patient. I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe post-plastics. Definitely a good problem to have!!

What are you having done? I'm thinking about doing some plastics consults this summer (August maybe? I'm thinking I want to get down to 135-140lbs) so I can get a better idea of what I want done & cost. I'd do it next summer. I can't imagine being a 2 or a 4, but I'm reasonably certain I'll wear a 4 in dresses if I hit my ultimate goal since I wear a 6 now. It's mind-blowing, no? I look at my clothes, the few that fit, and still think..."there's no way this is going to fit me."
I'm having LBL and BA/BL on 9/10! I'm so excited about it that I can't hardly stand it! I'm pretty much were I want to be so I felt comfortable seeing the surgeon. Go when your within a few lbs of your goal.

I'm excited for you! Those are the surgeries I really want, but I'm starting to become obsessed with my inner thighs. I didn't think they would be such a mess, but I even showed my mom and she got really quiet sooo yeah, they aren't great. At least the extra skin is high and it's not much, it's just really obvious how deflated they are. I'm planning to go when I'm within 5 pounds of where I want to be. Good luck and post photos!
That's a really good idea. I think I could use it as a motivation tool as well. I need mini goals to stay on track, and I think this will become doubly important in maintenance - ie I can use my clothing allowance next month if I maintained the month prior within a certain range. Oooh that sounds excellent! :)
