I wouldn't say in general overweight people have low confidence and are unhappy, but as Niick points out, mainstream society treats, and the media portrays overweight people in a negative manner.  This doesn't mean the person will lose confidence and not be happy, but it's one element against them which others don't have.

I think its all dependent. I meet people who are happier bigger and those who are skinny and still self conscious. I myself am self conscious and definitely not over weight. What I think it comes down to is their experiences. Often times when people are one bad event can alter ones perception of themselves.

My weight does not effect my confidence in the least
