Body Image Struggles

[Nothingnoted]

I always pull on my shirt so my clothes do not cling to my body

I've always wore loose clothing. (even before my anxiety)

Like back in HS, I wore "parachute pants".

If you remember MC Hammer's music video "You can't touch this" from 89-90, they weren't "that baggy", but they were close.

I had to work all summer to get those expensive pants to fit in, but it was worth it for me.

.

I also remember 10-15 years ago "Skinny jeans" were the popular thing to wear, and my stomach was hurting at the thought of trying to fit into them. (thank goodness that wasn't my generations pick for pants)

I like loose clothes. I dont like tight or clingy

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Nothingnoted]

I'm a pant size or 2 higher with a drawstring (for shorts/sweatpants) or belt. (if jeans being the latter)

I hear you. I’ve put on some weight recently and I know need to lose it. My stomach sticks out too much. I try to not eat so much but food can be a comfort. I wear loose shirts that don’t emphasize my waist.
