in Motivation and Support
Every year, I start looking for a swimsuit in May or June, just as summer is getting started. By then it is too late, all the suits have been picked over and there isn't much to choose from.

I noticed the suits are already starting to appear at the stores! I am feeling pretty confident about my weight loss goals, but I'm still nervous. Should I buy a swimsuit in the size I think I'll be in by summer for motivation, or should I play it safe and go with the size I am now???

    If you're going to be shopping for a 2-piece, you can consider looking for a style that ties in the back of the top and on the sides of the bottom so that you can adjust it with your weightloss.

    I think you should buy it where you want to be--to me that would be GREAT motivation! :)

    I think you should buy for the size you want to be and pick the cutest one. You're going to make it to your goal, I'm just worried you'll exceed it and it will be too big for you.

    Buy it buy it! Some things you have to buy when they're available. IE here I've got 4 months yet before our last expected frost date yet the stores have their gardening center fully stocked, when it's closer to time I'll actually need it they'll have their back to school / fall clothes out.

    I agree! Buying something awesome in a size you WANT to be is amazing motivation. My "goal" jeans from a few years ago are now loose on me (but I still love them!)
