I feel bad for Harold in the episode "Weighing Harold"


I wasn't a chubby kid like Harold but I still felt bad for him after he left the weight loss cruise, his eating is emotional, he got upset about what everybody was saying about his appearance and he got so depressed he gained more weight, It was probably one of the more depressing Hey Arnold episodes.

It seems like Harold might be one of those people emotionally eat


What does that mean?

OK.

Yeah my brother is an emotional eater too, he eats if he is depressed, that is why I feel bad for Harold in this episode.

Yah I did to a degree, but after he led the destruction of Pigeon Man's home, I was never able to fully side with him to be honest. I can relate though. I've struggled with my weight my entire life, and my mom is now fat-shamming me to try and lose weight for my sister's wedding.

I like how he was somehow able to afford AND consume 1 million fudge pops or "Fudgies"

I felt bad when Sid and Stinky were being mean and making fun of his weight. Aren't they suppose to be his best friends??

Those two have proven many times to be fake friends
