When I was younger, I was overweight. I grew and everybody says that I lost so much weight. But really, I just got taller. It hurts my feelings that everyone is talking about how big I used to be. I tend to eat when I’m upset, which makes the problem worse. How can I stop?
 
Hey girl!
 
Your friends and fam are probably just trying to compliment you on your sleek new physique and don’t realize they are hurting your feelings.
 
No matter a girl’s size, weight can be a sensitive topic. People often think that saying “OMG, you look so skinny!” will make anyone feel great. But sometimes, it can trigger a teeny voice to say, “Does that mean I looked big before?”
 
It’s time to ignore that voice and start to love your bod for what it is now. Being comfy in your skin will help hurtful comments slip off your back and remember that the true you is amazing—no matter your jean size.
 
That said, if someone is repeatedly commenting on your figure, let them know that it makes you uncomfortable. You can simply say that weight is a personal issue and you don’t wanna discuss it. End of story.
 
Lots of girls eat when they are stressed or upset, so don’t feel like you’re alone. Instead of reaching for snacks, express your feelings in a diff way. Write in a journal, belt out your fave angry songs or make a collage of things that inspire you. Or call your BFF to go for a walk and talk about how you’re feelin’.

Good luck, chica!
