When im so upset and crying so much i dont even feel hungry and cant even eat because if i do it feels as if im going to throw up. Yes i know eating must be done to stay healthy, but why eat when your body doesnt even seem hungry? Being upset is hard on your body and mind but there are certain things in life i know i have to deal with it and live my life the way i think i should.

When im upset im the same way I dont want to eat at all. I just want to sit and cry. Or when im stressed I dont want to eat either. Sometimes when im having a really bad day ill grab a big chocolate bar and chow down!

Yeah i am the same way. WHen im stressed i dont want to eat either. Im not that skinny or anything but right now i havent ate since about 3 yesterday and im just not hungry but im probably going to have to make myself eat soon because my parents will yell at me again for something so ridiculous like they have been doing. I wish life wasnt like this right now and i wasnt so upset with things.

I have to say it really depends on the situation and the degree of upsetness. If there are things that are bothering me and stressing me out I end up cooking and baking .. Not saying that I eat it all just I can't stop cooking. LOL!! But then there are times when I'm so upset I just can't even think of food or anything.

When upset I don't eat any. I probably locked inside my room thinking of what would be the reasons and analyzing the argument or any thing that made me upset.

Sometimes I do like when im upset at my mom I tend to eat a lot mainly because I know she dosnt like it when I eat a lot so I try to get back at her by eatting. But that dosnt happen to often hardly ever does thank god im not an emotional eatter. Infact Most of the time its the opposite for me because I eat when Im happy lol.

Sometimes when i'm upset i will eat...if i am crying or something though i won't but if i am just upset about something and there is food laying around.. i might eat it lol I try not to though because it's not good i'm sure. i would think that it was kind of like "mindless eating" like what they say you do when your watching t.v and eat... because your really not hungry, your just eating because your upset and trying to find comfort in something i guess. I used to always eat but not so much now but i still have my days where i can't help it.

i refuse to eat if im upset/angry. I just cant!! I find it really hard.. i can chew but my throat wont let me swallow so i have given up unless I am not upset/angry. Glad im not the only person as it makes me feel silly, but now i know its not just me i feel a bit better about it

I use to eat when I was upset but for the last year or so I am stopped eating. I broke up with my ex back in October and he completely did me wrong and I lost approx 20lbs from not eating. I am not saying it is the complete healthy thing to do but people do it.
