Some people lose a lot of weight when they are stressed. I am not one of them. On contrary, I gain a lot of weight when I am stressed because I turn to food for comfort. Not just any food, but really sweet food. Are you a stress eater?

No, when I'm stressed, I drink lots of coffee but I don't eat that much.

No I am the contrary I don´t go much for very sweet things to eat just a biscuit or two and an infusion to calm me down.

I think I gained weight looking at that picture. No, I'm not a stress eater. I'm just the opposite. I can't eat when I'm stressed. Thankfully, I don't get stressed often. Not since I retired.

@just4him I have to save before I retire. My goal is to someday be a business owner.

@flapiz I used to think so too. I was so glad when it arrived. The stress rolled off as I walked out the door.

Guilty of being a stress eater, too. Ice cream and chocolate calm me down. And also coffee.

Ice cream and coffee is my sinful pleasures when I’m stressed. Add on a lot of whipped cream.

Apart from the psychological aspect, I believe that stress burns calories faster so we become more hungry than usual.
