Sitting down vs. standing up...

So I noticed that my clothes fit when I am standing up, but are more tight when I sit down and more noticeable after eating. Why is this? Can anyone relate or give explanation?

    Because your squishing yourself up sitting down. No one looks good sitting. By that I mean, it's definitely not the most flattering of positions

    When you sit down you're closer to the earth and the pull of gravity is stronger. This has the effect of pulling all your mass down to your center of gravity and your pants feel more snug than when you're further away from earth.

    Truth. And when I stand up in an airplane, my pants are so loose they pretty much fall right off me.

    ...


    Hmm.
