COMFORT EATING

Here are posts from kids, who say they eat because they are sad, bored, stressed, lonely, depressed, angry, nervous, frustrated, or even when they feel happy. Some say they feel they are 'addicted' to foods. Here are three articles on comfort eating - 1, 2, 3 - and four videos:

Ht. 5'6", Start: 184 lb, Current: 180 lb, Goal: 145 lb - Hi! I know it's been months since I've been on for those of you who might remember me. Life's been crazy, and my weight has suffered as a result. Over the summer I was going though a rough time with a family so food became my crutch. Then school started and I became overwhelmed with homework, tests, yearbook commitments, boys, and dances. I've also been going though a period where I'm really not happy with my body. I feel horrible about myself. To top it all off I'm always rushing in the morning so my breakfasts are crappy and at lunch there is the temptation of fried food, something I never had to deal with before. All of this contributed to serious weight gain. Over 20 pounds. It really hurts me to say that. I thought I had managed to change my life habits for good, but I guess not, and... (view more)

Ht. 4'11", Start: 171 lb, Current: 160 lb, Goal: 106 lb - Hey guys. I love coming to this site because its so inspirational, though this is the first time I've ever posted. I have a big problem. I tend to binge, BIG TIME. And I've figured out that these binges happen when I'm alone, when I'm bored, or right after I get home from school. Any tips on how to beat this? Thank you, and I hope everyone is doing amazing!

Ht. 4'7", Start: 133 lb, Current: 133 lb, Goal: 100 lb - I feel depressed! I think I am en emotional eater. I eat whenever I feel sad. There have been about 10 people in my family that have died lately. My grandpa died last year and I miss him so much. I also get made fun of at school becuase I am overweight. People call me names and say mean things. I try not to let it bother me, but it does! I want friends who accept me for who I am. If you want or need a friend let me know

Ht. 5'5", Start: 170 lb, Current: 164 lb, Goal: 140 lb - I know how to lose weight. You eat less and exercise more. I have gained and loss weight a million times. But right now my biggest struggle is finding the motivation to lose weight. I have been really sad lately and have been overeating because of it. I need some words of encouragement to get me right on track. Anything or any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Ht. 5'2", Start: 231 lb, Current: 231 lb, Goal: 150 lb - Hey everyone, I have finally realized that I need to take some serious action about my weight problem. So I'm starting my diet this week. I have tried so many times before to lose the weight and nothing has worked but this time I'm gonna do my best because I'm putting my health badly at risk by being this big. I'm not too close to my family so I'm going to need all the help and support I can get from you lot. I know I need to exercise but I love to eat, even when I'm not hungry I eat. Theres no one here to stop me from doing it and once I start eating I just want more and more! Food is a total addiction to me, how do I stop it??? any help would be great thanx!
