“I'm confident no matter what size I am,” Jossa said. “I've always been a really confident person because I don't think that comes from how you look — it’s more about how you feel and treat other people and how comfortable you are in your own skin,” she added. "I just wear things that are super flattering for me,” Jossa said. “I don't care enough what other people think of me.”
