Yes. Some people lose weight due to stress (usually due to lack of appetite) and some people gain weight due to stress (usually due to seeking comfort with food).

I havent dealt with it personally, but loosing and/or gaining weight due to stress is common.

yes, and it sucks. I'm normally underweight and when I went through my divorce, I lost approx. 20 pounds!!! took me years to put it back on, and my doc had me drinking 3 Ensure drinks per day along with meals. I dont recommend it...I had like ZERO energy which increased my stress.

Yup. Sadly I always gain weight when I'm stressed.

So.. your avatars name.. I used to know a girl named Thespiana. She was from Greece. Ironic!
