Is there a difference between self-esteem and confidence? Because I notice that I have a little more confidence since I've started losing weight...smiling more, wearing more form-fitting clothes rather than the baggy sweatshirts I'm used to...

Another thing for me, and I will be really happy if someone else can relate to this because I feel like I am totally insane and crazy for feeling this way...but I feel that if I lose weight then I am giving into the pressures of society. I feel like I will be a hypocrite because I have been going around preaching that you can still be big and beautiful if you are fat.

This makes a lot of sense...but look at it this way...just because you
can be beautiful while you are big, doesn't mean you
have to be big to be beautiful. And just because you are beautiful, that does
not mean you are healthy.
