You might think, when you put on your pants in the morning, that they fit okay. That maybe you can wear them for another week. That might be true, if your job involves standing all day. But if you're sitting at a desk, the pants start to feel a little tighter. So much so that, after eating lunch, you feel downright uncomfortable. So my tip is of two parts:
1) If you're a little on the fence about your pants, sit down for a few minutes before leaving home and see how they feel then. If possible, do this after eating.
2) If you've neglected to follow the advice in part one, make sure you have a blanket, or other appropriate item, to drape over yourself to hide the fact that you've unbuttoned (and unzipped, but just a little) your pants after lunch. You'll thank me.
Sounds like you speak from experience ;)
