Seriously. You need to redefine yourself from being "worthy" of baggy shirts to one who wears nice fitting clothing. Keep the numbers out of it (i.e. I weigh x amount and don't see the difference and so on). This isn't about the numbers. It is about a shirt that fits well and you need to define yourself as someone who wears nice, well fitting clothes.

Step out of your self-imposed limits, break through, and wear the shirt!

Thank you all for the great advice!

I will definately wear the shirt tommorow and after reading all your messages, I think that this is actually an important step for me to make to help build up my self-confidence and how I feel about myself

I have this one shirt with really short sleeves that makes me feel TOTALLY self-conscious about my overly large arms. I feel like I'm a fat girl squeezed into this cute, tiny girl shirt a lot of the time when I wear it (like today at work!)

But the thing is, every time I wear it, I get so many compliments about how nice I look. So clearly wearing something that fits only enhances the progress I've made, not the flaws I still have.

In short: You should wear the new shirt. Even if you feel self-conscious, you will look great, and the next time it will be just a little bit easier to put on something that's not a t-shirt.
