HI I'M 17 YEARS OLD AND I'M AROUND 5'5 AND WEIGHT 218 POUNDS. THE WEIGHT CALCULATER SAYS I'M OVERWEIGHT COMPARED TO OTHER TEENS MY AGE. I'M TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT WHENEVER I GET SAD I ALWAYS EAT AND THAT DOESNT HELP THE PROBLEM. I JUST WISH I COULD BE SKINNY AND EVERYONE WOULD LIKE ME.

I read an article in the health magazine,talking about emotional eating. It is about not counting calories, or no grueling exercise, but it is about how to take care of your emotions without overeating. One lady lost 80 pounds by doing this. Heres a quote from the article "You have to train yourself to recognize and express the anger, sadness, and guilt that are part of life, along with happiness, graditude, and love. It is about finding and living in balance." The lady I was talking about about was very depressed so in the evening she would go to bed crying and eating. Don't bottle up everything inside. Tell people how you feel, and get angry when you want to. Just dont go to extreme. Scream in your pillow that always helps. Learning to deal with your emotions without food is good for your soul. The weight loss is just an enormous result and bonus. I hope this helped!
