Hun, your body's not bad at all!! I used to know a girl in college who was pretty much your weight and build (except that she had slightly bigger tits), just a bit of "puppy fat", really, and EVERY guy in the school wanted to bang her!! so, don't be TOO hard on yourself!! You're REALLY not as bad looking as you think!! :-)
As for exercise, try power walking. Jogging or running is okay, but power walking works better and faster. I forget why, but it does. Also, do a lot of swimming!! If you can, get up a game of It in the pool!! All that swimming to keep from getting tagged will burn off the fat!! Possibly Underwater It would even work better because the person that's It HAS to be underwater when they tag someone. Also, if you can, take up playing the drums. I wasn't in any kind of a heavy metal band, but we DID rock and, I can tell you, the way I played (and for as hard as I worked setting up my huge set and taking them down) I burned up a LOT of calories!!!! It wasn't until about 10 years ago when the band broke up, our pool had to get filled in and my best friend was taken away from me by her insanely extremely overly-jealous boyfriend, which made me VERY sad and depressed (not to mention scads of friends and relatives dying left and right), that I started to pack on the pounds!! I'm not sure what my height to weight ratio SHOULD be, but I was 6' 9" and 190 pounds 10 years ago, now I'm still 6' 9", but nearly 300 pounds!! I'd LIKE to drop 100, but I'm told that's too much for my height. I don't know! It worked FINE for me up to that point!! I still look thin, except for my root beer belly. (Root beer!! Nectar of the gods!!!!)
By the way, VERY thankfully, my best friend finally left her (now) hubby a year ago and is now my best friend again!! :-DDDDDDD
