AllyL, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one or two new things for your holiday. Treat it as a reward. Also bear in mind, that you need to lose a lot of weight before clothes look bad on you because they are too big. Sometimes they continue to look better as you slim down!

I could do with some new jumpers/tops suitable for this cooler weather. At least they are usually stretchy so will slim with me.

Anne18, I'm even shorter than you. We're not fat, we're just short for our weight!
