: in 5 months. i feel disgusting. none of my clothes fit,
: all my friends talk behind my back, and my boyfriend dumped
: me. What can i do? Please help.
First off, get out there and excercise. Secondly, it sounds like changing
schools was a pretty stressful situation. Talk to a doctor about your
weight gain, and the circumstances surrounding it - he may be able to refer
you to a psychologist who can help you figure it out. He may also have
some advice of his own for you.
