LEGGINGS AND STRIPED SWEATER

A passion that all we have it’s surely shopping. Someone more than other, but all women love it. When we see a bag or a pair of shoes we are in a trance, in another world in which that accessory is already in our hands. We imagine ourselves walking in the city with our new Dior in one harm or wearing that Valentino’s boots, meanwhile the world smiles to us.Shopping it’s not just for clothes and accessories, buying something it’s always satisfying. For example when we buy a lipstick or a nail polish. Already being in that perfumed place it’s relaxing and idyllic. Than the saleswomen come, smiling like angels, and they show you latest nuances and all that products with their jewelry like shining packaging, till that moment in which you decide what to buy and they wrap your lipstick with lovely ribbons, they fill your bag with perfumes and mascara small samples. And the magic it’s done. You bought it. You have something new. You did something for yourself. The truth it’s that shopping it’s therapeutic, it makes everyday struggles easier to afford and it shows you what you have obtained working hard. Yes, even if the day has been exhausting, at the end you’ve been able to buy something that you like, that rewarded yourself and made your life better. Because the day after you’ll wear that lipstick, or that new dress, and you’ll feel perfect, different from before and more confident. So girls, we don’t have to feel guilty when we spend even a bit too much, but we have to think that we do it for ourselves and, you know, shopping is cheaper than a Psychiatrist.

SPOTTED SLIPPERS AT THE LAKE

When I was a baby my grandma always told me that it’s the change of the season. I try to tell you what is happening in these days to me: I am totally laziness, I feel to do nothing and starving all the time. When I wake up in the morning I am already tired, it’s like if I haven’t sleep at all (even if I slept 10 hours), and just the idea of wearing something nice/putting make up on/make my hair make me feel bad, I have to repeat to myself that I have to go out (even if there is always a cold air that seems waiting just me), then I spend all the day dreaming when I’ll be back home, in my warm bed, watching the TV. When the hunger comes, chips, chocolate biscuits, schiacciatine (I love it) and croissants are my best/worst friends during these long autumn afternoons. Even if I follow my diet till the 6 pm, just idea of relaxing, enjoying all that delicious food, starts to be in my mind as soon as I arrive at home. I try to say “no, Melissa, if you resist will be easier to go on with your diet”, but I already know that it’s a losing game, I am not strong enough for this battle. So I go in the kitchen and I eat a schiacciatina. Than I think “ok, one it’s ok. Now stop and anything will happen”. That schiacciatina it’s just what you can see of an iceberg, the beginning of my ruin. After a bit I have already ate ten schiacciatine (with Philadelphia), few biscuits and a croissant. And it’s not finished yet. Taking a break to the diet makes me feel allowed eating what I want even for dinner, and I call for pizza and ice cream “I will start the diet again tomorrow”. Just thinking that I will have to start the diet again makes me eating double. “I have to be totally satisfied because from tomorrow I won’t eat anything good”. That made the situation worst it’s the fact that at that time, Save is at the gym (doesn’t he feel the change of the season?), and that allows me to do everything in secret. His pejorative gazes and his telling-off would take me far away from junk food. But, he is not there, so I am free to eat as much as I can and made him believe that I ate nothing. Having no witnesses (just my dogs, accomplices tin change of food) made the fact not real, with a clear conscience (even if my belly grows). At eight the laziness starts again, and I fell asleep in from of TV, hearing strange voices (Save that tries to talk with me), and the day after I ask myself if it really happened. The change of the season made even you KO or just me?
