Actually your decision to not go up a size is actually what doctor Phil recommends. He also recommends against pants with elastic waist etc.
That was my thinking some time ago. I was at a size 48 and my pants were getting tight. I didn't want to go up to a size 50. Psychologically, that just seemed too huge. I wanted to stay a size 48.
So whenever I'd buy pants---which happened a lot because they'd keep tearing---I'd try on size 48's in several different brands and styles until I found which ones were least uncomfortable. They were still tight, but I told myself that if I wore pants that were too small it would encourage me to diet.
It didn't work. All that really happened is that I spent about two years wearing pants that were uncomfortably tight. Eventually, I gave in and bought a couple pairs of size 50s. They fit fine. I was comfortable.
I don't know. It seemed like the right decision at the time. Maybe I should have stuck with it a bit longer...
