I think what AlexM is saying in his unnecessary belligerent fashion is that poor eating habits can certainly follow depression, but that in all likelihood a girl who is 13 and already weighs 175 (and used to weigh nearly 200 it seems) has probably been overweight for a long, long time and this has probably led to a lot of negative social consequences, which therefore led to depression.

For this child to be overweight due to bad eating habits from being depressed, the child would have had to have serious depression from a very early age.

And yes, the parents should notice at some point that Megan was getting overweight and stepped in. Period.

Yes, this is exactly what I was saying. Dunno what was "unnecessarily belligerent" about the way I said it, but whatever.
