Logging and planning are my best tools. Every week I prep all my meals for the week and it simplifies my life so much. I don't feel as compelled to run thru a drive thru for a quick meal.

I wonder if you could go to the store and take a picture of yourself holding them next to you for comparison and print out a large copy of that. Short of being life size perhaps that would have the same effect and you wouldn't actually have to buy the pants that you will never wear.
