I think all of us, no matter what size, have self esteem issues. They surface, usually, when we have our clothes off! I am thin but still obsess over every little bulge (after 4 kids, you get 'em, no matter what you weigh!) You asked, "How do I get my confidence back?" I find that, if I exercise, even just for ONE day, for that day, I feel about a million times more self-confident. It's not like that 30 minute walk completely transformed my body, but for some reason, I feel much more confident showing it off. Try it, and you'll know what I mean. Plus, it's GOOD for you!! Love, Jen
