So when I’m stressed out I don’t eat!
Apparently that’s weird! I remember in college one of my friends was like stress eating is way more common. She even pretended to eat a burger and said “This burger loves and accepts me … nom nom nom.” Ha! I should note this was during finals week and she found out I haven't eaten almost all week! Just too stressed out!
Do you eat less or more or just the same when you are stressed out?

I lose my appetite, too. Breakups were always great for my weightloss!

Oh man, I can't eat at all when I'm anxious or stressed. I feel like I'm constantly nauseous.

I'm the same - I lose my appetite completely and feel sick to my stomach when stressed/anxious/nervous.

I'm an emotional eater... And I don't discriminate between emotions. Stressed? Happy? Frustrated? Excited? All the food.

@Synchronicity: Ha. Same. But, when the stressor is emergent I'm nauseated for a bit. So, back when I was a student I might not eat the night before a big exam when panicking, but all that week just stressing about it I would eat all the things.

If I'm only a little stressed I eat more, but any significant amount and I wind up living on coffee and chips.

@fancyfunction: me too. All of my stress/anxiety go to my stomach and I can't eat.

I generally eat more when I'm stressed. The only time I stop eating is when I am extremely distressed and anxious- during my PPD I stopped eating. It was very alarming.

I have actually experienced both. Normally, I eat. There have been times though when the stress was so bad that I stopped.
I lost a lot of weight in my first grad school due to stress. Then in my next grad program, I gained it back and then some, also due to stress. Lol.
