i don't know if its the same thing cinder, but the more i stress, the less i want to eat, its like i know people that when stressed, all they want to do is eat, and its just the opposite with me. when i'm stressed, all i to do is smoke cigs and drink coffee, just don't have an appetite for food. so i lose weight rather than gain. i mean i'd eat every once in a while but not near as much as i would on a normal stress free day. like now, normally, i should be losing weight, husband is not around, i mean i'd cook for the kids but just didn't feel like i wanted to eat.
