My doctor made me gain it all back, but now I've gotten into the habit of overeating- the same stuff I ate as when I needed to gain weight. I know it was for my own good, but I don't know how to stop eating badly and lose the weight I want to lose. I've gained 15 extra pounds and none of my clothes fit me anymore, but I don't know how to shed the excess weight. I feel bad about myself all the time and feel huge in comparison to all my skinny friends. I try ercising and eating well but I fall off track and feel like a pig. How can I lose this weight without hurting myself?\n\n-Madi\n\nDear Madi,\n\nIt's so hard to feel out of control like that. Especially after you worked so hard to get well. So let's talk about what you do next.\n\nI asked Julia Taylor, who's a school counselor and body image expert, for some advice. Here's what she said:\n\n\"When you constantly compare yourself to other people, you lose your identity. You will never measure up, because your standards for yourself are not realistic.  I imagine the friends that you compare yourself to feel the same way."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
