Confidence is a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Confidence comes from a latin word fidere' which means "to trust"; therefore, having a self-confidence is having trust in one's self. Arrogance or hubris in this comparison is having unmerited confidence – believing something or someone is capable or correct when they are not. Overconfidence or presumptuousness is excessive belief in someone (or something) succeeding, without any regard for failure. Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because of an innate ability.

Get the overly confident mug.A women who considers herself to be obese in a society that ridicules and demonizes obesity, but is accepting and confident of her size; either because she is proud of her figure or because of naturally confident inclinations. Women confident in their larger body mass reject the societal stereotypes of self loathing due to their size, and often reject the societal pressure to conform and loose weight to fit in.
A new bread of 'fat confident women' actively rebel against pressure to loose weight and are offended by the prejudice, demonization of obesity and discrimination they may receive because of their size. They also do not tolerate 'fatism' and will celebrate their size in a 'thincentric' society, regardless of criticism and prejudice they may receive for doing so. They celebrate their sexuality with those who are attracted to a larger figure and make no apologies for their size.
Other types of confident fat woman may derive their confidence because they enjoy their size, or because they place little importance on their size, or they may have previously lacked confidence because of their size, but have grown to accept themselves the way they are, though they may or may not still have a desire to loose weight.
