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. 5'8.5", Today: 131 lb (BMI %tile: 50) - Hi everyone,
my name is Chelsea and I am neither under weight nor am I over weight, for now. Currently i weight 131 lbs. and i'm 5ft n 8 1/2 in. All that I would like to say is this, *please don't compare yourselves to media icons like models, or actors/actresses etc. It only makes things worse for yourselves.* I know believe me! Once i became so stressed out about something like that and i actually gained weight. Finally I accepted that it didn't matter that I didn't look the same. Now I am at a steady weight and theres no stress. So, basically just try not to feel embarassed, and DON'T ever think that you can't be at a healthy weight!

I just was looking at my photo album one day and I saw how skinny I was in 2nd grade but now I look like a cow and everything is going wrong because of it. My boyfriend broke up with me and I cant find another date I am always made fun of by my closest friends I hate myself sometimes I sit in my room on my bed in a ball and say I WISH I WERE DEAD over and over again hope'n that it will really happen. I weight areound 150lbs and I eat when I am sad and when I am bored and its hard to stay on diets!
