Self-confindence is different for different people so it's hard for me to answer, but I can try to help. If you're 100 lbs and you feel big compared to your friends, how skinny ARE your friends?! 100 lbs is NOT big at all, and I believe it is even below average. You are probably the only one that cares or even notices, but I'm not sure this info helps too much. SO... it never hurts to be healthy, but losing weight shouldn't be all that matters. Feeling healthy will help improve your self image though, so here are some tips (Oh man, I'm starting to sound like a P.E. textbook!): Eat healthy foods (You know what's healthy- if you want to go on a diet that's fine, but make sure its a safe one; don't just stop eating). Try eating more small meals, rather than a few big ones. Exercise (doing cardio may help burn fat, but don't forget to lift weights, too). In the meantime, try to focus on other things besides weight, and don't compare yourself to your friends- each person is UNIQUE (Now I really do sound like a schoolbook!) Umm, that's about it... to sum it up, DON'T become anorexic or bulemic! Hope I helped!
