Contemplating Cutting

I'm contemplating cutting off some of my hair. I've been thinking about doing it for a while, but always chicken out at the salon and just ask for a trim. I'm loving these long bobs that fall right around the collar bone – especially with some subtle waves and a slight off-center part. I figure if I start gathering inspiration then schedule the appointment, I won't back down this time.

Does anyone else get anxious when thinking about losing a few inches? My hair is sort of like my security blanket...plus I don't know how I can function normally without having the ability to quickly throw my hair in a top knot which is my absolute go to style. Ah! I guess it's good to do things that scare you, right?
