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. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 431 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - Hi everyone. My name is Summer and i am 17. I weigh 431 lbs. I am 5'4. I have been overweight my whole life, but at age 12, i could have stopped it. Last year i lost my best friend...she died in a car crash with her 21 yr old boyfriend. He had been drinking and she was begging him to pull over, but he didn't. Then he went on the other side of the road where he collieded with an eighteen wheeler. Both of them died instantly. Before any of that happened i had weighed 210, and i was in progress of losing weight so i would be able to fit into the new dress i had bought for my cousins wedding. I wasn't ALL fat, half fat, and half muscle becasue i swam. But now, i am soo depressed at my deseased friend. It is the reason that i now weigh 431 lbs. If anyone has support or ways to lose weight please post...thanks to everyone for even reading this message. And god rest her in peace,I love you, Genn..(my best friend..)thanks..~Summer
