Answer 1

Depression could certainly be one of the main reasons that you are eating the way you are.  Often when people are depressed they will turn to food for solice and comfort - this is known as emotional eating.  Also, if they have you on medication for your OCD, the medication could be causing you to eat this way.  Instead of eating sweets like candy, cakes, cookies, popsicles, etc.  try keeping fruit and cleaned veggies handy in the fridge to grab instead.  The best of luck to you and best wishes in overcoming your problem.  If it really bothers you, you may want to think about talking to your doctor.

It sounds like your metabolism needs a rev up.

Don't get too hung upon dieting, try and manage your hunger with high protein low fat foods.

Eat banana's and energy bars.

I shouldn't advise it but caffeine is a stimulant which provides quick fix energy, and exercise may be come less of a chore.

Get some advice from your local fitness centre for recommended healthy"comfort foods".

Good luck.
