I would just take them off again and put on more stretchy pants. I could not pressure myself to go on a 'diet' though. I don't believe in them and I just returned to my previous routine (slowly) and over time I believe I am back where I was, fitness wise and probably weight wise. I still refuse to weigh myself for the sake of knowing that number. My thought is that I feel good about myself right now. If that number is higher than I think, will that make me feel less good about myself? If that number is lower, will that make me try to maintain something in an unnatural way. I don't want to be locked in to a number, but I do want to feel good about myself. For me that means being able to walk up a flight of stairs or meet my friends for a morning run without wheezing. It also means that I feel comfortable in my (new) jeans (I decided the old ones always were too tight anyway!)
