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:

Hiya all, anyone have any idea if drinking Vinegar really helps lose weight (hate the taste but hey..oh well) anyway I heard it does because, like citrus acid, it helps to eat away the calories. Any Ideas? I have those Apple Cider Vinegar pills, but I've not started taking them, not sure if they work. Anyway I just wanted to say hi really, even though it's like 2 am here (I don't sleep much anyway, even though I have to wake up at 7) and I wondered if anyone had heard about how music can effect your weight, like because it can make you angry and depressed and stuff??? Is that right? I'm wondering because I listen to the really depressing, angry punk rock and heavy metal stuff, and it seems to have negative effects on my personality and weight. Any Ideas? thanks, if you have any ideas could you reply or email me? (menolly62@hotmail.com)

Hello my name is Bethany, I have been overweight since I was was 6 years old. It started when I joined school, I started hearing about this wonderful stuff called chocolate and Mcdonalds which my Friends had told me about....I loved the stuff, I was never really into it as my parents had never taken me and didn't get me many sweets, only when i was 'a very good girl'. But I ate too many of theese when I went to school, there were shops on my way home from school which I would drop into and buy a bar of chocolate or some gummy sweets as i had had a 'hard day' at school amd had 'been good' all day. I don't want to blame my parents,but they are partly to blame. My dad used to take me to mcdonalds every sunday, as we lliked to collect the toys from happy meals. But hen i got fed up with them I mooved onto Extra value meals...loaded with even moore calories. I didn't... (view more)

I am 16 yrs. old and I seem to binge whenever I feel cold!! Does anyone else tend to eat a lot when they are cold?? I don't like wearing tons of clothes so it's hard for me to stay warm. I also want to lose 10 pounds. Any suggestions on how many calories I should be taking in?? Thanks everyone and stay strong!!

I haven't weighed myself in like a week and I'm kind of scared to because today I found out that I did awful on my Algebra chapter test and I think I am flunking it now. Our grading period is over on Friday! When I got home, I totally binged because I was so upset! Then afterwards, I was so mad because I knew I shouldn't have done that and yet I did! I was all psyched because I was going to stick to my diet really well and then this happened and now I'm all mad. If anyone has any suggestions or ways to overcome setbacks, please respond! Thanks!

Well, I'm 5ft and weight about 150lbs. Its really frustrating because whenever I get the inspiration to do excercising, I don't, and I get really upset and tend to eat because of depression over other things. But, I think a tip for all of you, that, if you imagine yourself normal or thin, that you could imagine someone you have a crush on to like you, or have a better advantage of making friends, and thats what inspires me to go and do excercise. But, I've recently had knee surgery so I haven't been doing any good, probably gained the 10 lbs that made me 150 :( Well, I just posted to see if anyone knows any useful excercises for you tummy and arms. I have great legs and butt from playing so much soccer ( 8 years). Well, I hope you all believe in yourself and have fun :)

hey peps, me message got moved to page two so me posting it again cause i got no results
Hey people, does anyone know what the daily intake of energy should be each day if your trying to lose weight? Cause im trying to lose weight, but i EAT LOADS, and when i say loads im talking 10 meals a day, so what should be my daily intake of FAT if i want to lose weight, daily intake of CARBS if i want to lose weight. I need to know some really nice snacks that i can eat when im depressed or something so that i dont put on fat. and finally i have a school assignment and i have to research 'the water diet' where u drink or eat nothing but water. so i need to know things like how safe it is, and wats the longest you can go on it safely for, due in two days. THANX
