Well, people with a mental disorder, like depression, are more likely to be obese because obesity is often used as a coping mechanism. I find that most of the time, I end up eating if I'm upset, so that I can supress that enough to get work done- I don't really have the time to sit around feeling depressed. So that's definitely a problem.

OMG! Me too! I'm usually only bored at work and the more bored I am, the more I eat. If I'm at home and let's say I'm playing a video game I'm really into, I could go hours and hours without eating if I don't stop myself.
