I am the type of person, when I am stressed I have no appetite. While my client on the other hand eats constantly. Before my husband went to the nursing home people would ask if I was sick, I had lost so much weight. Others would say whatever it is you need to let it go. So which are you do you eat, or just lose your appetite?

It depends on how stressed I get. A little stress and I eat. A lot of stress and my appetite goes away.

@popciclecold I do lease my appetite when there is some kind of disaster around which hopefully is rare.

It really depends. There are times when I've avoided food, and didn't even think about food (when we thought my dad might have had prostate cancer, for example). Other times, I get kicked out of Golden Corral with the manager saying, "Hey, 'all you can eat' isn't a challenge!"

I'm a stress eater. Now I'm trying to lose some added weight that I gained when my mom was dying

When I'm really on stress it makes my energies low and I can't eat much
