Are you an "emotional eater"? By that, I mean are you a person who tends to eat too much food when you're stressed, upset, depressed, mad or whatever?
This question seems to polarize people whenever it comes up. It seems there's no in-between. Either you really DO feel like eating when you're stressed, or you really DON'T feel like eating when you're stressed.
Personally, I'm in the latter group. If I'm upset or emotional (whether angry, scared, depressed, etc.) it pretty much takes away my appetite. :( I'll eat, because you have to eat or you'll get sick, but I don't really take pleasure or comfort in the food. I've tried to imagine what it's like to be an emotional eater, but I just can't. It turns my stomach.
Anyhoo, I'm just curious how everyone else feels about this. There's no right or wrong answer. :) "Best answer" will go to the most thoughtful/interesting response; it doesn't matter if you're the same as I am, or different.
