I’ve seen already some recommendations in other posts and am going to check those out, but I was wondering if there was anyone here who has been in my situation as a plus size person who has really struggled with finding their own body beautiful and feeling more confident. Is there a particular book that really helped you see yourself differently?

Maybe exploring authors like Roxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom. Not all of their works are about being plus sized explicitly, but I think they are good role models in so many areas of life. like their essay collections excude competence and confidence, anyone of any size can appreciate learning from them. That said, thick by Dr. McMillan Cottom is likely a good starting point for you.
Otherwise, maybe try Rest as Resistance, The Body is Not an Apology, and Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love
