I used be "Fatter" size 38 then a 36 now 34. Some of that is my body is slowly "Wasting" Away too. A 34 with a belt now falls down too. I even drilled afew extra hole in my belt . Or are the Jeans "different" than used 2 be. When I was "Really FAT" just bought Dockers work pant or I wore sweat pants
