    Well first of all...don't starve.
    Secondly, how you feel is your perception. Perception can be easily changed.
    Thirdly, being overweight is closer to normal than being obese. Since you're 14...you won't have to worry about all that sag because your body is still elastic.So just start working out. Eat less bad crap (keyword less, you're 14. Don't deprive yourself of that delicious bad stuff yet. Enjoy it, just enjoy it through moderation.)...eat more good crap.
    Fourthly, find someone you can talk to. A friend, a family member...a councilor. Feelings are easier to manage when you've spoken them aloud.

    Good for you! Go out with friends, have fun, join a team (doesn't have to be at your school) you are already doing it so stay active and watch what you eat. Doesn't mean you starve or only eat salad but make sure you add some greens to your meal. I believe in you, and I know that you can do it. Just by reaching out I can tell your a bright girl that knows where to access needed resources. Use what you have, (mom friends school) and just stick to it.
