I must remain in close concealment/ Until I can appear in decent clothing!

A few months ago, my sedentary lifestyle and love for ice cream and french fries caused me to have to go pants-shopping, as all of the pants I had were straining at the waist. I bought several new pairs of pants and retired many others. Now, although I am no less fond of ice cream and french fries (and no less sedentary either) I am finding it difficult to keep these up, and my waist is somewhere between Pants Classic and Pants: The Next Generation, so I can either wear the former and feel a bit snug or I can wear the latter and risk them falling down. After several days of trying to wear Pants 2.0 - stepping on the hems when they sag too low and fearing complete depantsing - desperate measures had to be taken. So, I went to Meijer and bought a belt.
The annoying thing is, I only went up ONE SIZE! Why is there such a slapstickcomedyesque difference between two sizes of pants? Why are there no in-between sizes? And why do I own one pair of pants that has fit me all this time while all the other pants fluctuated? Are they MAGIC PANTS?

Oh, I have a pair of Magic Pants too. I don't know what that's all about.

Ever since I started losing weight I've had this problem with being in between pant sizes. It seems that women's pants are sized 10 or 15 pounds apart - which sucks because it takes me FOREVER to lose that much weight so I end up having a good 3 to 6 month period where all my jeans feel like they're going to fall off but I'm not small enough for the next size down. I guess I need to start investing in belts, too.
