Booty shorts and random musings
22 Mar
Melh. I hit a NEW LOW! Don’t get ready to congrats me – that really means the opposite – I’m gaining weight like a eatin’ fool.
Yesterday, my parents (hurray for moving back to the states!) took both my children for the day which meant that hubman and I got a rare day together to hang out! We decided to drive out of town, not far, to another really great little city and walk their downtown which is so lovely and it was a gorgeous, sunny day as well.
Before doing our walk, we were both hungry and leaving lunch too late, so we popped into a cute pub and got lunch. Um. Yum. Oh yeah… yum.
Afterwards, we got our dog and started walking around and enjoying the area and the weather.
Ahem. I know what’s the new IN thing for summer. You wanna know?
BOOTY SHORTS. DAISY DUKES. It wasn’t THAT warm out, but every other girl walking around had the shortest of short denims on, with sweaters and boots even… but no matter what – booty shorts everywhere!
I felt really bummed. Not because I want to wear daisy dukes, but it reminded me that my beloved favorite season – SUMMER – is around the corner, but I’m existing in this warm Spring day in jeans and a hoodie… and unless I take action, the PROMISE I made myself last summer – that I woudln’t spend another summer completely covered up in the HEAT – that promise will be trashed. Do I have no respect for myself and no trust in my own word? I told myself it wouldn’t be the same this summer – and it will be exactly the same if not worse unless I make changes TODAY.
—– EDIT:: Sorry, I had a whine session earlier today – sorry to those of you who stumbled upon it!
Maybe he’s concerned for your emotional well-being, not necessarily your looks. I’m sure he just wants you to be happy, you know?
You’re working on things, kiddo. Give it time, don’t give up on yourself or your hubby. Talk to him, see where he’s coming from…
Thanks girl for being so sweet. He certainly does not want to talk about anything and if I try, I’ll be asking for trouble and he’ll say something that will hurt me – even if it wasn’t his intention because he doesn’t always… think ahead lol… ah well.
He’s not available to me in that way, so I’m going to have to find other outlets – like posting here more and leaning on my girlfriends
i haven’t seen the booty shorts thank god, but i do know what you mean…i’ve said that every summer for the past 7! i am sitting in roughly the same spot as i was this time last year. i’m starting to realize my friends and family are noticing how much i cover up because while i will wear tank tops (not spagetti strap ones though), i am always in capri’s. and they comment all the time on how i never wear shorts.
I totally understand about the summer, it’s so tough. In Mexico my friend (who is totally skinny, but has food issues) spent the entire time covered up. It stopped her from doing things. I was pretty covered up most of the time, but I still got into the ocean. Otherwise, I’m always in capris and tank tops just like lolasphat.
