Listen to Dahs. He is right on the money. If you are trimming due to negative thoughts, then you shouldn't trim. You really need to set a goal. Why not Dec 1st? That will get you through November and you have an excuse to grow on. If you don't like what you see at your time goal, then style to your preference. But, at least you can say you tried and won't have the what if on the back of your mind.

Best,
