The Glass is Half Empty

This morning I became aware (again, if I’m totally honest) that I really am a glass half empty type of person.

I noticed over the last couple of days that I have been tripping over the bottoms of my jeans. Not in a major way, mind, just finding that they catch my heel occasionally.

And, after a day or so of this, I have finally realized that the problem is they are sliding down because there is now, without a belt, quite a sizeable gap between my waist and that of the jeans.

Now, you’d have thought that - for someone as obsessed with their weight as I am - I could take this as a good thing, a sign that I am well on the way to becoming a buff beach-bronzed Adonis and that maybe I could give myself a pat on the back and adjust my self-image accordingly, wouldn’t you?

But no. My first thought was “oh, bloody hell - I have to buy more sodding jeans”.

On Planet Rob, it seems, every silver lining has a cloud.

My glass is full.

And it’s a 2 litre one!
