When shopping is painful
My boyfriend spends nearly every day at the gym. If not every day, then every other day. Sometimes he sleeps there overnight in order to get in more time. This also guarantees he’ll be first in line for the machines he prefers to use. Meanwhile, I have no interest in going to the gym. Oh, I know it would be good for me… I could easily benefit from an active lifestyle, one that involved matching gym clothes and sweating to my favorite music courtesy of my microscopic iShuffle but I am, in fact, quite busy and capable of finding other things to do with the free time I have.
Because it has been a very cold winter, one that has forced me to favor being indoors 99% of the time, and because I haven’t been following any particular exercise routine, I find going into any clothing store at the moment to be quite painful. You see, spring wear is out at the moment and with this comes swimwear. And, after freezing to death outside one really doesn’t want to walk into a store and immediately be confronted with images such as this:
And, let's be honest, in Michigan no one will be looking that skinny come spring and summer. Simply add about 20 pounds or so and then you’ll be closer to reality. For me, you will only need to add 5 pounds (*Cough, cough*). Also, I would never wear a bracelet to the beach but obviously this girl is more flashy than I am.
