Overweight Kids are lonely and sad more often than other children, and they are often bullied, ridiculed and teased by their peers, says child psychologist Sylvia Rimm. Many “fight their sadness by cheating on eating,” creating a vicious cycle, she says. Nationally, about 20% to 30% of children are overweight or at risk of becoming so. (USA Today 3/28/04)
