please dont worry hon. The reason your thighs and stomach look larger when you sit down, is because the muscles in your legs and tummy are relaxed, and therefore when muscles are relaxed they spread out. and when you stand all your muscles are tightend. you dont realize your tightening your muscles when you standup because your brain is so used to it that it just comes naturally. stop worrying your, beautiful! and dont listen to anyone who tells you otherwise

Everyone's thighs look fat when they sit down. If you look skinny whilst standing you are good.
