Even if you laugh in front of your friends, there must be an unhappy individual under the mask. You may also get demoralized because of being unable to find clothes that fit you when you go shopping, and may think to yourself, “Why am I overweight and do I have to live like this?” When you go to eat with your friends, you have to pay attention what you eat while your friends are eating freely any of the foods they want; but despite this, you may eat with intent to become socialized and then go hungry for days.
