My husband doesn't wear a belt. His job makes him bend down all the time and he says they dig into him. So he wears jeans with a waist size 1-2 inches smaller. does it make any sense Anyway, I saw her and asked him to try on a pair of jeans that actually fit. He is amazed! in your gut is bad so both for health reasons and because his stomach looks so much worse when crushed it's amazing!
