Lyrics that reflect life

Not in the way you might expect, but a U2 lyric has seemingly become true for me.

In Zooropa, there's the line "Eat to get slimmer". A silly idea, right?

I have a pair of shorts that are now ridiculously too big for me. They were big even before I lost weight, and now they're like clown pants. Regardless, I was wearing them yesterday. They were generally hanging, but still staying up.

After a large dinner of burritos, they proceded to slide off.

I ate and got slimmer.

Should that even be possible?
