I noticed that I lost 2 kg in the last weeks. I was very stressed. I ate less than usual. I am already underweight and losing more weight is not good for me. But when I am stressed I can't eat much. Do you lose weight when you are stressed? Can you eat as much as before if you have a stressful period of time?

I tend to be a stress eater.
When I'm stressed I eat the comfort foods I should probably avoid.
No if I'm really, really busy I tend to forget to eat.

@dya80dya I'm not sure why...but it's my default when I'm under a lot of stress.

@Morleyhunt I understand. Maybe you have more appetite when you are under stress.

I think Yes because in stress we not like to eat much as well as in thinking too much burn things fast inside our body.

I lose weight when I have depressions and when I am in a stressful situation. I can't eat much, and I am not interested in food. I try to force myself to eat something, but I don't really want to.

@dya80dya I tend to lose interest in food and I can't eat much. Sometimes I lose a couple of kilos that way.

I think most people are stress eaters. I am like you. Little eating when upset.

I'm not because I'm skinny. Well then this is the answer for those who want to slice some kilos from their body.

The only time I lose weight is when I diet and exercise.

I think that it is normal for all people to lose some weight when they are very stressed because they don’t even have an apetite anymore
