Confidence is hard especially when you start comparing yourself to others. But you are the best YOU that you can be, and so there is no need to compare yourself to others.
However statements like this make me sad:

My problem is that sometimes I am confident and feel sexy being big. However I am only big for my partner.
I just think if my boyfriends happy with my size then I should be.
I am jealous of those who are pretty and big cuz I don't feel beautiful at this size.
Be who you want to be, not what anyone else wants you to be.
If YOU want to be big then that is fine, but you shouldn't be big for someone else... I don't pretend to know your relationship, or want to make a judgement but changing your body for someone else is not the ideal - Be who you want to be not what anyone else wants you to be.
You are beautiful but if you only look that way because of someone else then I can imagine it would be hard to accept yourself...
Sorry I don't mean to sound like I am judging, I am sure your relationship is fantastic and great in so many ways... but you should only do what you want to your body, not what you think someone else wants...
THIS! soo this. Thanks WannabePrincess. Sooo many times my friends, fellow Marines, and even family have given me shit about being thin. It's unpleasant having people tell you your soo small and that you should work out more, and gain weight by simply eating more. I like myself the way I am and I wish there were more people who would accept my type. I find myself fretting over how I look just as much from time to time.
