When you feel bad do still love to eat, or wouldn't like eating at all? There are some people who lose appetite every time they feel bad about their self or others, While others tend to eat lots of foods just to make them feel better.

we need to eat to make our feelings or situation worst. so we need to still eat "feeling good" foods. at least we truly love ourselves to try to look for ways for us to feel better.

Wow! that can be really scary since you lose that much weight in just 3 days. I also don't like eating when I feel bad but never I achieve that weight lose for just three days. Often times I lose around 3-5 kilos. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I am the type who eats less when upset. I tend not to eat at all if no one says anything to me about it. I just don't get hungry, my sister is the opposite. If she is upset everything in the house becomes fair game. Even foods she doesn't like she will eat just to eat. At times she will even make herself sick which I cannot understand doing as I hate being sick personally. My way is not much better really, but I also tend to drink a lot when upset mattering on how bad the hurt the harder the drink. If it is little things I become a hot tea addict. The heat soothes me. When big things happen like when I lost our baby half way through the pregnancy I drank whisky as though my life depended on it. Again not a great choice but it's what i did, also not a great choice when not eating much if anything...lol, lucky for me I do hate getting sick and never got to a point of throwing up for that fact only.

Ah, we are the same, I think we didn't get hungry because we are more focused on other things. You know sometimes I think that its better that I don't like eating when I feel bad because if I am on the contrary I might real feel bad since I gain weight.lol Yeah, its good that you drink lots of water even if you didn't eat much, that will surely helps. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I am less likely to eat when I feel bad. When I am feeling depressed or sick I hardly eat anything at all. But when I am bored I eat A LOT.

Well when I am depressed I only like to eat chocolates and when I am sick I don't like eating at all, I guess its just the same thing with others. Yeah, when we are bored we tend to eat a lot, some tend to sit down watching television while eating.lol Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yes I do and I think that most people do, I think a lot of this has to do with how you are treated as a child, so many people are rewarded with food as a child that it does become a comfort food in later life

Yeah, I agree with you. It's the same thing with my friend. Me, I don't feel like eating everytime I feel bad and more likely focused on the things that makes me feel bad which is not good because I tend to overlook my health. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi, careguarden. No, I can't eat when I feel bad. If I am sick, mad or just upset, I cannot eat anything. My appetite will be gone. I never could eat when I was worried about something.

Hi there, my friend Care!I like to eat, but not when I'm depressed or sad. I find it hard to chew whenever I feel like crying, so I stay away from food.

usually, when I feel bad for myself or others, I just stop eating. I can not eat anymore anything when somebody is in trouble. it is not a healthy habbit but I just feel so bad and sad and blue that my appetite vanishes. what can I do? I eat just to survive even if there are no problems in my life. lots of time I am concentrated to do my work and I have so many things to do that I complete forgeting to eat something. when I start feeling sick, I know the main reason. the lack of food.
