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. 5'5", Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 96) - Okay-I am 5'5'' and about 170lbs. I've gained 2 pounds in the past week, so I am even more upset with myself than I was before. So, I trying to shed some pounds more than ever. I can't really exercize at the moment because I've been at crew till late at night. Fortunatly, it kept me from eating when I get home...which is how I gained so much in the first place. Today I started cutting back a lot and drank more than I have in a while. If anyone has anything to say that can help me, I would be very grateful. my e-mail is lilclowndude@MSN.com and my aim sn is lcdcs

Ht. 5'4", Today: 176 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - Hey you guys! This is my first time writing here. I am the oldest of six children and i am huge! I am also really lazy! I know i am supposed to diet and exercise but i just cant find a program that fits my schedule and... i am a really picky eater. I weigh 176 lbs and i am only 5'4''. i think one of the reasons i eat so much is because i eat when i am sad and i am sad a lot. I got the habit of eating when i am sad from my parent who buy me food to solve my problems. i keep telling them that i need their support in losing weight but they are so worried about me becoming anorexic or something that they make me eat and dont give me the support i need. I wish i had someone over my shoulder to help me and push me to lose weight. i know the kids at school are talking about my hugeness behind my back. i dont know what to do. can someone give me some advice, PLEASE!!!

Ht. 5'9", Today: 185 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 130 lb - Hey everyone. Ok...here it goes...My name is Sarah, I'm 15, 5'9" and I weigh 185 pounds. I have been overweight since I was about 5. The problem is that my parents always gave me what I wanted. If I wanted some ice cream, they'd give it to me right away...if I wanted cookies...I got them. I'm their first child, so they basically never wanted to say no to me. Then I started getting chubby, but they didnt really mind bcuz they thought I would grow out of it. Well guess what? I never grew out of it. Very young I developed a horrible habbit of over eating. I eat SO MUCH junk food...just thinking about it disgusts me. Ever since about 3rd grade I've wanted to lose weight. I always say "ok, now i'm gonna do it. by next school year i'll be skinny like everyone else." But it never happened. I'm in 10th grade now, and I'm about half way through the year. Now I'm putting my foot... (view more)

Today: 135 lb - I don't know what my weight is or how much I have lost, but I know I have lost some. I started writing a story and posting it on the internet and I spend all my time working on it and my poetry. I am never hungry and when I do eat (I only eat when I am hungry.) I can't eat very much. I walk for an hour, eat mostly fruits and veggies (I wanna become a vegiterian, but it will take me a while to get used to it.) Since I am half Korean I eat Korean food alot and the thing I like best is tofu. I enjoy holiday vacations like Christmas and Thanksgiving because I usually eat when stressed, but durring heavy eating vacations I don't have school to stress me out. During Thanksgiving vacation (10 days I think) I lost 5 pounds, and I think I lost more over this Christmas vacation. Last time I checked I weighed about 135 pounds. Pants that fit me before vacation are so big... (view more)
