    I do both! If I am upset or stressed I eat but if I am really upset or depressed then I won't eat! It's how my other half knows I am really not in a good place! I wish I could give you a way of dealing with it but I can't! Not eating is what made me as fat as I was and now I just use MFP to encourage me to eat even when I don't want to!

    Not helpful I am sure but you are not the only one! I promise! You are never alone with stuff like this. Hope things get better for you soon! xx

    I go both ways. Ermmmm...with eating and not eating during emotional times.

    Last year I had a bought with depression. Oddly, when I was completely stressed and the conciousness of the depression hadn't hit I was eating to comfort my soul. Then when I hit the wall, I almost stopped eating for 5 weeks. I dropped 30 pounds in that time. Pretty scary for me either way.

    yep me too. Its not that im not hungry, its that i know it will make me feel worse if I do something like binge. When Im happy and relaxed I lose my motivation
