My pants don’t fit

I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
My pants don't fit. That’s the good news. Since I've been limiting my glucose intake I've been losing weight steadily. I was 174 on 28 March, and today (20 April) I'm 161.2. That’s about 4 pounds a week. For the first ten days, I lost nearly a whole pound a day! I limited myself to one slice of bread per day or 2 cups of brown rice or pasta.
I got either scared or decided not to take it seriously and now it's less than a pound a day. Which is just fine for me, since I get to eat a bit more of what I like, without feeling guilty.
Now for the bad news. None of my pants fit. Ordinarily you would consider this a positive, but right now I'm dead flat broke, so I can't afford to replace them.
On balance, a good problem to have.
