Stop and think about what your trying to do. Ask yourself "will this help to improve me personally?", " is this a good choice for myself?" "Who am I doing this for?" And try to focus on you and your health rather than others.

The biggest thing that I can think of that might be helpful is to challenge some of those thoughts. If you're having the thought that 'other's will look at me' - challenge it.
One example of this might be the thought - 'people might think I'm a loser' - How do you know that? Where's the proof, show me the evidence! Imagine that you're in a courtroom. Thoughts often seem so powerful but in reality they are often false and not helpful!
