That depends on your build

a) Live healthier.
b) Live happier.

For you, your goal serves a worthwhile purpose.

I hate it when I meet new people, I feel uncomfortable and scared due to the fact I think they're judging because of my weight. Also, due to pretty much all my friends, male and female, being slim and healthy, I kind of feel like the odd one out, even though they dont make me feel it.

Maybe some are judging. While your discomfort is probably a great incentive for you to be fit and healthy, your feeling scared may be unnecessary and may not serve any useful purpose.

Also, lately I've found out that with this weight, I can do a decent long distance run, push myself to do well, so if I was less heavy I would be able to run longer and faster, which is always going to be a positive.
So, its all good at the moment, all I've got to do is get on a healthy diet, do some daily exercises

You already know that you can do it.

...well, not exactly. I cannot tell my parents, it's not that they would flip or do anything, I just know that they would feel uncomfortable, and so would I. I can't go on a diet, because they put a plate in front of me and tell me to eat it. They don't have time to fix me up something else, they're working.

Some healthy changes may actually save your parents some time.

Also, I'm lazy. I have tried to lose weight before, but had no real ambition and felt self-concious of those who saw me losing weight.

Maybe it is not that you are lazy. It could be that you previously did not have the motivation. You have that now. Also your desire to no longer be the odd one out is probably stronger now than your desire to not be seen losing weight.

I want to, and know how to lose weight, I just dont have the confidence, the time or the encouragement to do so.

I think you will get plenty of encouragement and time saving tips on this forum
