Winter beauty blahs

This time of year is brutal on my body and I tend to notice all of my "problem areas" more (Remember the "great" idea of my neck slimmer last year, we all see how well that worked out for me). I try really hard not to gain weight during the winter but I find it much easier to maintain my weight during the summer. Getting outside and taking a walk is much more enjoyable than battling the weather and getting to the gym or working out in my cold basement. The other day a co-worker of mine said she was spending her evening trying on her summer clothes for an upcoming trip she was taking. Lucky her for the trip but we all agreed that summer clothes is not something any of us are ready for. Just the other day I was in a dressing room, trying on a pair of jeans. I was in a room with one of those 3-way mirrors. Really, is there anything worse than one of those things? I look around and notice my black roots first and make a mental note to myself to schedule my highlighting appointment ASAP, then my eyes go down a little and I see my pastey, cellulite legs - which haven't seen a good moisturzer in quite awhile - and I think to myself, "And Mike sees this everyday, poor man!" I always say that moisturized, tanned cellulite is better than pastey white, dried up cellulite. And let's not forget the "ring" everyone gets around their ankles from the socks they wear during the cold, winter months. I don't know how everyone else feels but I'll be glad when spring arrives and I can expose my legs to the sun and get out and move my body!!! Until then I'll be avoiding all 3-way mirrors.
