They don't. Having the blues is why they are heavy.

The blues can be caused by anything. Ice cream is my worst vice. If I have had a bad day, and my wife brought some home ( I won't buy it myself to avoid it) I will eat as much as a half gallon at once. After I getting upset because I am heavy, I eat like a fool because it makes me feel good. It doesn't make any sense does it?

By the same token, why do some people cut themselves? Why do some people drink? Why do some people get violent?
It's all the same answer, and that is because that is the way they cope with feeling down. Dangerous behaviour while depressed isnt just a trait reserved for "heavy people". It's reserved to everyone.

Because they have a disorder! Just like anorexia or bulimia. Chronic over eaters are "eating" their feelings. The same reason girls starve themselves or cut themselves or stay with abusive boyfriends! Low self-esteem, mainly. Self-destructive behavior means that a person is hurting on the inside! The pain and anguish they feel on the inside is coming out! Whether it is eating, starving, or cutting! It is all done for the same reason! To relieve the pain!

Wow. how ignorant, first of all not all heavy people overeat. Not all heavy people eat when they get upset. I think you will find that alot of skinny people are the ones that do this, How many girls get out the chocolate,ice cream and cookies when they get dumped, find out something bad etc.
For you to ask this question is just absurd, and shows that you are a very immature, and uneducated person.

I think its a matter of habit ... the way they got heavy in the first place was probably using food, to eat - most likely of the junk variety - when they had nothing to do, or couldn't deal with a problem of some sort, and in doing so ... often... began to build up a habit of "emotional" eating... its not so easy to break when its integrated so much into lifestyle routines and the general availability of unhealthy foods...

it is their way to comfort themselves. over eating is something a person may do because food does not judge you. it also has a lot to do with chemicals in the brain that can cause a soothing feeling
