Feeling ridiculous at the gym

Today I want to share about "self-consciousness at the gym". If anybody else has felt unappropriate or silly at the gym, I'd be glad to read your feedback !
I am upset with myself over something I can't do much about : my boops.
I've hated them all my life because they're huge (34 E/F) at the moment. When I look at myself I always somehow see a cow, no matter how thin I have become. Of course they change sizes as I loose weight, but have never gone below a 32 D. When doing cardio exercises they're all over the place and I feel ridiculous. Actually I feel ridiculous as soon as I start working out. I think it's because whatever the exercise, when I see myself, I feel like an elephant trying to dance ballet. Not quite right, huh!
I'm aware I need to change my perception and become more tolerant and patient with myself, but for now, I just loath my figure.
Accepting myself is real real hard.
Also when it gets to the guys, especially the ones at the gym. I always get the feeling they're mocking me (part of my training is in the weight lifting zone and with my tiny weights... I get the feeling I'm totally out of it.
Anybody with similar experiences or some wise guidance to give '
