Does your weight go up & down with your emotions?
When you're unhappy do you put weight on, or does it drop off whilst you weren't looking?

Mine did for a portion of my life,but once I felt content in life it mellowed out to a level I can control...I would not eat when I was depressed,so I lost pounds,but as I felt better I'd binge only to put weight back on and sometimes more than before...The key is learning not to let food control you,you control the foods that go into your mouth...=)

Yes, there can be a link between weight and your emotions.
Some people gain or lose weight from depression (it is one of the symptoms used to diagnose it). Women often gain at least 10-20 pounds when they are in a new relationship because they are happier and will try to eat to keep up with their partner. Also, a lot of people eat for comfort. Successful weight loss programs encourage people to examine (and eventually sever) the tie between the two.

For me it's the opposite - my emotions go up and down with my weight. If I gain weight, you DO NOT want to be around me, and neither do I. When I feel good about myself and like I'm in control of my weight, I'm happy.

i would say yes because if your not happy with yourself mentally or physically then u will most likely show it in the way u act and your emotions wll show that u are said and unhappy all the time is ot is likely that u will treat other people who weigh less and are happy with themselves badly because of hoe ure feeling which can lead to jealousy

No, I don't eat to deal with emotions.
I think it's more like your emotions & processed food.
Stop eating processed foods. I did and my moods have become stable. No more up and down.
