"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

A small dilemma

I really want a wardrobe revamp.... I want to shop with a personal stylist...  I have set aside some money from my tax return to do this...  but part of me is holding back.


My concerns include:

  • wasting money I should put towards our mortgage buffer
  • trying to look good when losing weight would achieve the same
  • no clothes at my size looking good anyway
  • what if I don't like the stylists style...  I can decide not to buy the clothes but her hourly rate has to be paid anyway



My reasons to want to do it:

  • I believe feeling confident will help me lose weight
  • I have to wear clothes what ever my weight so I may as well look the best I can while losing weight and not wait for goal
  • the ideas I am taught for dressing for my shape will still apply when I am slim as my basic shape will not change



My options:

  • Just do it
  • Book it for January (sales) and hope to have lost more weight by then (but not set it as a reward, book it regardless)
  • Forget it until I am slim and decide then if I even need it



Opinions?
