It's not about cutting back on the "junk" food, it's about cutting back on ALL foods. It's okay, even good, to let yourself be just a little hungry after you eat. Don't eat 'til you're stuffed, eat until you're satisfied. Also, don't starve yourself between meals, a really healthy thing to do is to eat 5 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones with junky snacks between. Make it a point to take the long way to a class if you have time. As for the chocolate, take a LITTLE bit each day.
So, the thighs. I get the sense that you don't want to deal with much physical activity, so a nice way to at least tone the thighs is to grab a decent sized book and tuck it between your knees and hold it there until you finish meals. It'll work on your thighs. Really, working out is the best way, but the book holding is a nice start.

Vegetarian?
That isn't a high calorie diet, so that's no problem. And contrary to popular belief, chocolate is not fattening-- the sugar content is. Eat chocolate with artifical sweetners or low calorie chocolate if possible. But chocolate isn't the issue.
The amount of food is. A mental and emotional attitude on eating is use a smaller plate than you normally eat meals on, and reduce the amount of food you normally eat a tad, and the plate will appear completely full.
This is recommended in all good dietary programs because the mental picture of what you see, is the amount, the coloring, the pleasant appeal of the food, as well as the smell and taste which is related together.
That's one trick.
The second trick is to stop sodas. Drink sugar-free, diet soda. Drink plenty of milk and plenty of water. This flushes your system.
Then, exercise burns calories as well as tone and helps burn off excess fat tissue in our bodies.
Once the excess fat is burned, it will burn and tear down muscle which will rebuild itself, strenthening into great tone and form.
Muscle builders, weight lifters, athletics in general, all exercise to break muscles down to rebuild stronger.
Drinking plenty of water is the best for washing your system and hydrating you properly to exercise and be active to reduce a size or two.
Any jogging, walking or normal sit ups, general exercising you've learned in gym and seen or done will do. But thighs is stretchs, walking, jogging, riding a bike, anything that strains the thighs.
Just be aware of high calorie, fattening food. And whether you like it or not, junk food is fattening. French fries, even mashed potates, fried veggies, etc.
If you want potatoes, eat baked potaoes without butter, using low-cal sour cream, plenty of chives and seasonings or stuff them with your favorite cooked veggies and even low-cal cheeses, and whatever you want. The potatoe isn't fattening, it's the butter and junk on it that is.
Eat plenty of raw veggies. Great for anyone. Dip into low-cal Ranch or favorite thing as long as it isn't loaded with fattening calories.
Use common sense.

Tell you exactly what you need to do?
To start, you can get real. God forbid you would have to actually work at it with diet and exercise. I promise that no diet that allows you to eat chocolate everyday is going to get you any real results.

Well, your plan might be a little too ambitious based on your circumstances, but here's what I would do.
It's all about reducing the calories in what you're eating, but not to an extreme. Try cutting the amount of carbohydrates you're eating. If you usually eat a lot of pasta, eat half as much. Make your sandwiches on one piece of bread instead of two.
You can have chocolate, just not as much. Try either sugar-free chocolate or very dark chocolate (the 70-80% cocoa ones). They've got less calories.
Exercise? Whatever you can do. Make sure it's mostly cardio, though, so that you're not just building muscle. Skip rope, run, speedwalk, swim... whatever you like.
Just so you know, you can't spot-reduce... the fat won't magically melt off of your thighs.
