Ah, Spring! The promise of warmer weather, longer days and lighter clothing sounds very appealing indeed, but let’s face it, you’ve probably had at least one of these thoughts cross your mind:
1. I promised myself last year that I wouldn’t gain weight during winter.
2. Throw out all the carbs and treats in this house. Throw. Them. OUT!
3. I am not eating a thing before December.
4. I need to tan.
4. This dress used to fit better last year. Oh dear. What happened?
5. I forgot to shave my legs! I actually forgot HOW to shave!
6. Oh, look at all those pretty flowers! The beautiful colours … the smells …
7. … uh-oh, my sinus is suddenly feeling so much worse.
8. I haven’t had flu all winter! I survived an entire winter without getting sick…
9. …oh, no, wait … is that a tickle in my throat?
10. I forgot about these lovely wedge heels! Why are they hidden away? I want to wear them. Today!
11. I should have gone for a pedicure…
12. Do I still even have body lotion? Will it be enough to cover both legs?
13. How did I allow the house to get so messy during winter?
14. Can I still use this sunscreen? (Disclaimer: If you have to ask, the answer is no.)
15. Out with the red wine, in with the white wine!
16. Let’s have a pool party this weekend … wait, what do you mean more rain is coming?
17. I am going to pack all my winter coats away. I won’t be wearing them again this year, right? Wait, what do you mean more rain is coming?
18. Better use that gym membership…
19. …why is the gym so full today?
20. I forgot how to walk in sandals. I feel so unstable on my feet.
21. I need to go to the shops and buy every salad ingredient I can think of.
22. Why are there already Christmas things in the shops? I’m not ready for this!
