Take Your Naked To Work

My “skinny” season is off. Planet Greta is suffering from some kind of climate disonance. Here’s what’s been happening every year and it’s an inconvenient truth so I’d like Al Gore to get on this problem.

I’ve found that I a two to three month peak “good body” season. All the planets align and I finally get fed up with myself and stick to whatever diet/exercise plan I’ve been putting off. And I LOSE THE EVERLOVIN’ WEIGHT. I call this my Skinny Season. But MY Skinny Season always coincides with sweater weather. I call it Skinny Season everyone else calls it Back-to-School season.

I’d like my skinny season to actually coincide with the period of the year when I’m the most naked. (the season formerly known as summer) See in January, I think “oh, I’ve got 3-4 months before I’ve got to put a bathing suit on, no worries, pass the honeybuns.” I think the same thing in March, April, and May. It isn’t usually until around July or August that I panic and go all Atkins-y.

I’ll usually lose about 10 pounds by the time school starts and be “skinny” from September to Christmas (if I’m lucky) and it starts all over again. It’s not fair…I can’t wear a bathing suit in October! To Work!

What about you? Do you have a skinny season? Are you able to get it together by swimsuit-wearin’ time? Do you believe in Polar Bears?
