Don’t let people get to you! Your weight has nothing to do with whether or not you are a good person. If you want to lose weight for yourself to be healthier, that’s great, but do feel like you need to do it to look better for other people. I went through alot of the same feelings when I was younger and you are really beating yourself up for nothing. What’s on the inside is soooooooooooooooooooooo much more important than whats on the outside. I must admit, sometimes I still worry about whether or not other people are thinking I’m fat, but then I tell myself “Who cares? It’s not really important.” and its not.
As for some tips and trick, this is what I’ve been doing. When I feel like I want to eat, I ask myself: “Am I really physically hungry?” If I am, I eat. If not, I try to figure out what else is going on. Am I bored, trying to put something off, depressed, etc. Sometimes just realizing will help me avoid eating for the wrong reasons. I try to find something/anything else to do other than eat. Sometimes I will write it out on paper. I’ll just start writing all the warring thoughts going on in my head until I can’t write anymore. Then I read it and usually I realize that eating is not going to help whatever is going on and I usually feel better, too. Then I destroy the paper is some way, shred, burn(safely), etc. and I feel like a weight has been lifted. I’d say it works about 90% of the time for me.
If I’m hungry, then I ask myself “What is this (insert food you plan to eat here) going to do to my body?” will it give me energy, vitamin, minerals and other things that are good for me?, is it full of fat or sugar?, will it clog my arteries, make by blood sugar skyrocket, then plummet & screw with my insulin levels? will it contrubute to me being overweight?(here I’m more concerned with the associated health risks-cancer, heart diesese, etc. than looks, though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care about my looks, we all do). Sometimes I give in to the “bad” stuff, because it does taste good, but when you realize what it does to you once it gets into your body, it becomes alot less appealing.
Good luck. I know you can do it.

Just a couple of tips that may help: chew gum when you feel munchy and when preparing meals so that you don’t snack while cooking, use smaller plates when eating meals(smaller plates make it seem like you have more food when eating correct amounts), eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day instead of 3 large ones. Be sure to eat breakfast(eating breakfast jump starts your metabolism for the day)
Anyway, Good Luck!
