i was feeling pretty good about

my 'quest to lose weight' until about 7.50am this morning...

in the last few days i have started to notice that my 'healthier eating' plan (which is not yet coupled with exercise....even though it should be) is working - my clothes are starting to feel a wee bit more comfortable :-)

and then, as if i needed to be reminded that i was not yet there, i decide to put on one of my favourite pairs of pants - navy blue, fine red pinstripe, zip at the back, very flattering and very comfortable and i guess i'm kinda surprised when i can a) get them on b) do them up and c) view myself from the back and think they (actually not they, but my arse) looks ok...

that is until about 5 minutes later when i perch on the end of my bed to eat my brekky and i hear a ripping sound...sure enough when i stand up, the zipper has split open...not just split open split open, but break (you know, in need of a new zipper) split open!!!

oops!
