Self confidence and self esteem comes from within. If you do not know your worth no one else will either. If you have self esteem issues or you are shy I suggest getting a journal and write your most intimate thoughts. Another assignment is write qualities that you like about yourself or things that you are good at like researching, bravery, pretty feet, etc. Start loving you and appreciating yourself do not wait until the weight comes off start now. The weight does not fix the inside. Know that you are beautiful.
