loose or tight?

After I put on a smaller pair of still tight pants this morning I thought to myself, wow, I can't eat much with these pants on. I also love wearing my too big loose pants because they remind me how much I have lost and I feel good about that.

I'm just wondering what everyone prefers--tight to help limit food quantity and maybe remind you that there is still more to lose, or looser for self esteem?

    I like them just right. If they are too tight I feel obese again. It reminds me of when it was time to buy another bigger size. When they are too loose, it reminds me of how big I was. I feel "dumpy" when my pants hang. It's hard because I just can't seem to find ones that fit me perfectly anymore!

    It depends on what you mean by tight. Do they look tight? Like "contents under pressure" tight? Or are they just snug? I have pants that fit now, but sometimes when I'm bloating badly they feel a bit snug. I still prefer to wear them than loose pants because I've found that the looser ones actually make me look bigger. Also, when they are loose, I tend to stick my belly out looking pregnant. Something to do with feeling like the pants are going to fall down or something. I draw the line when my pants look tight and I have an obvious muffin going on.

    well-fitting...If they are too tight, I look like a sausage. If they are too loose, I look dumpy. If they are well-fitting, I look thinner!

    Thanks for the replies. I'm about to bag my baggy pants and opt for the slightly tight in the waist ones--I do think I eat less when wearing them. :smile:
