Wearing baggy clothes

Hello everyone,
I need some help please. I have a big problem with clothing. I can't stand to wear anything that is tight fitting. It makes me feel really fat and I can't stand it. Yesterday I wore a pair of dress pants that I haven't worn in a while to church. They felt snug and it drove me nuts the whole time. All I was able to think about was how fat I am and how I must have gained tons of weight. As soon as I got home I rushed upstairs to get them off and put on my baggy clothes. I usually only feel comfortable wearing baggy clothes that are too big for me. However, I know that they look stupid and actually make me look larger than I am. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, to the lady who had someone come up to her and comment on how skinny she was infront of a parent.. A few months ago I went to a birthday party for a friend from high school. I had not seen her in a while. When she saw me she was saying OMG! Look at you, you are so thin. What's going on? Don't you ever eat? Don't tell me you are doing the same thing you did in high school. And this was infront of my 2 dd's (9&12 years old)!!!!
I know deep down that I loved that she noticed. But, I was so pissed off that anyone could be so stupid to say such things in front of children. I was giving her looks to stop but she kept on going.

Hi there, Michelle.


You've got me put on my thinking cap here... Up to a couple of months ago I was also always wearing baggy clothes. Well, not so much as baggy as clothes that would
