Is it normal to be more confident when you lose weight?

I have been losing weight for about a month. I wasn't overweight on the BMI scale before but I was a few pounds away. I'm super self conscious and I have always felt really fat and uncomfortable in my body and I always read that losing weight won't make you love your body any more but I totally disagree. I've only lost 10 pounds but I already feel better in crop tops and shorts. I used to freak out when people would pick me up because then they would have concrete evidence of how heavy I am but I saw a friend for the first time in months and he picked me up to give me a hug and it didn't even bother me! Has anyone else experienced this?

    This is normal. I lost over 40 pounds and I fit into clothing that I shelved a few years ago. I see how I look in the mirror now and I think I look a lot better than I used to look two years ago.

    When you add it to your morning routine as a tasty juice, it helps FIRE UP an incredible amount of clogged fat inside your body and release it as energy.
    People are losing from 28 lbs to 62 lbs on average…
    It’s up to 276% more effective than most diet and exercise plans…
    And it has a whopping 93% success rate.
    I’ll show you all the scientific evidence behind this strange fat-burning “purple weed”...

    Yeah, although I am experiencing the opposite. I cut out fast food and started doing more cardio and I have lost 10 pounds and I am now down to about 125 and I feel like everyone looks at me and thinks I am on meth. I was never anywhere near overweight to begin with and I am 5'5" so I am going to KFC now to get some fried chicken k bye.
