Have the photographer take the picture standing a little higher than you. Sit and turn to a 3/4ths angle and have the photographer photograph you from the side you turned to. Try dressing in long sleeve shirts to hide your arms.

I don't know if you really are fat or just exagerating... but here is a good document on "How to Photograph the Plus Size Bride." You're probably not a bride but it has some tips that may help you.

Don't shoot the face head on from the front turn it slightly away and try different lighting angles.

get snipped and tucked

You need a longer lens. Perspective is determined by the distance from the camera, so you need a longer lens to move back. Whatever is closest to the lens is exaggerated, so if you want to look smart, tilt your head down a little, if you want to look thin, hold the camera higher and lean forward a little.
