Unpopular girls gain more weight?

[DuchessOfDork]

In a study shown here:

Girls rating themselves as less popular gained more weight than girls who believed themselves to be popular. Em.. this study felt like a no-brainer, to me.. but then again, I felt really popular in high school and that's when I was at my highest weight. So who knows?

Re: Unpopular girls gain more weight?

I can relate and agree to an extent. I was popular in 7th and 8th grade, and very slim. I was not popular 9th and 10th grades, and fat. But there were underlying issues there which stripped me of my confidence, and I feel I got fat because I was unpopular, rather than get unpopular because I got fat.

Interesting study though.
