It’s Summer- Do You have a Summer Body?

Spoiler Alert: We all have a Summer Body!

I am in cotton baby doll pajamas sitting on the couch with my laptop, working. My flatmate is also in her pajamas, working at her desk. (A perk of working from home!) My pajamas barely keep the “girls” in if I move too quickly and it’s short enough that I don’t dare wear it in the street even just to bring out the trash. My legs are stretched out under my laptop and my tattoos, one on the top of each thick thigh are showing beneath the fabric. It’s hot and it’s so much more comfortable to work this way than actually getting dressed every morning.

My flatmate is working on her travel plans, she’ll be leaving Colombia soon and heading off on new adventures. Out of nowhere she bursts out in frustration, “I am NOT looking forward to having to wear a bathing suit in Costa Rica.”

I am first surprised at her outburst, and then I ask her, “Why?”

“Because I haven’t lost any weight since I’ve been here and I just don’t have a bathing suit body.”

I thought for a minute and decided, yes, I’m going to say it, “You have a bathing suit don’t you?”
