Suit fitting question

I have a fairly easy question--

I am going in Friday to be measured for an MTM suit.

My concern at this point is that I have put on some extra weight, essentially only on my waist. We are talking 10 pounds at most, but enough to bump me up from my normal 30/31 inch to a solid 32.

I realize, you should NEVER buy a smaller piece of clothing with the intent of fitting into it later.

My question is, if I go with my current measurements, and do drop back to my normal weight (which is likely-- this is an anomaly for me), is having the pants taken in from a 32 to a 30 within reason? Or, is that amount of reduction just too far?
