New Year's Resolutions Expectation Vs. Reality

I'm going to join a gym. The gym is hard.

It's that time of year again when we all make really quite unrealistic New Year's resolutions and try our hardest to stick with them for a solid week.

From joining a gym to trying our hardest not to swear, let us know if any of these are you because they're definitely us...

I'm going to join the gym and be really fit by the summer…

'Expectation:' Right, enough is enough. I'm going to have the most bangin' bod for summer '17 and there's nothing that will get in my way.

'Reality:' Okay I'll have just one yum yum.

I will open a savings account and put away a little each month…

'Expectation:' If I put away just £50 each month I could have enough for my dream handbag in no time.

'Reality:' *Dips into savings after one month*

I'm going to do one kind thing a day…

'Expectation:' I should really give more money to charity, maybe I could volunteer too?

'Reality:' I just never seem to have any change with me.

I'm going to stop swearing…

'Expectation:' It's awful hearing people swear in public, I'll start using words like 'sugar' instead.

'Reality: 'Oh f**k, I've missed the last tube home.

I'm going to have a three step skincare routine which I'll do morning and night…

'Expectation:' My skin could be radiant if I just stuck to a strict routine of fancy skincare products.

'Reality:' Smearing a make-up wipe across my face counts as a routine, right?

I won't have more than three drinks on a night out…

'Expectation:' Three drinks and lots of water in between means no hangover, so that's exactly what I'll do.

'Reality:' Did someone just say Jagerbombs?!

I'll find myself a life partner…

'Expectation: 'Tinder, Match.com, you name it I'm going to sign up. It's time I found my one true love.

'Reality: 'Ugh,everyone's so annoying.

I'll master a new language…

'Expectation:' Not only would it look great on my CV, but I really should stop being so naive when travelling through Europe.

'Reality:' Now I remember why I only got a C in my French GCSE.

I will stop texting my ex…

'Expectation:' I'm going to delete their number and never ever send them a single drunk (or sober for that matter) text again.

'Reality:' Good job I have it memorised!

'While you're here why not watch some people try and guess what these sex toys are for:'
