Ht. 5'4, Wt. Too much - I hate how the "school" on this website basically refers to overweight people as primarily "emotional eaters." Even Lucy on the chat room does this. Have they ever considered that stress and no free time to work off calories may have been part of it?? How about genetics? It annoys me how all the tips are for emotional eaters, when not all of us are. Does anyone else agree?

Reply from mae, Age 15 - 05/23/06 - IP#: 4.242.36.xxx no offense but i agree with Shan... overeating is like biting ur nails, it relieves stress, it makes u feel happier, but only for a little bit... then u feel worse. . next time you want to eat something, stop and think.. really hard.. about what u r feelin - r u really hungry? (growlin stomach?) or are u stressed or bored? like Shan says, it takes very little food to relieve hunger. . could you be like in deniel? ~M~

Reply from Shan, Age 19 - 05/22/06 - IP#: 24.201.88.xxx stress is an emotion! And genetics is part of it but you need the lifestyle to become overweight. If you don't eat emotionally, then why else do you overeat? You don't need much food to stop being hungry. Also, this is what's wrong with the population so this is what the site focuses on. Everybody is different, so unless you get your own dietician to know you personally, you just gotta get tips from others. And burning calories is a lifestyle it doesn't take extra time. You just gotta be an active person and the more active the better. Sorry I don't wanna be rough these are jjust my opinions.
