How to deal with some of the negative feelings associated with trying to lose weight?

I've been trying to lose weight since I was about 15, almost 16. I've 17 now and I've only lost 26 pounds.I feel so bad about it because it's taking so long. I feel just guilty. Everytime I eat too many calories or too much of this or that. Or I don't exercise enough. It's hard. It sucks. How overweight is 142 pounds for a girl who is 5'3? I look huge and I don't see a difference in my appearance even though I lost those 26 pounds. I feel horrible and guilty. I try but sometimes I just let myself down. I know I need to be better and I'm trying. I'm just asking how to deal with feeling like I failed?
