i eat when i am upset sometimes because my diet aggravates me.i have 4 children.so the gym and walking isn't always an available option.so i grab some cookies and indulge in my misery.not a whole pint of ice creme.i have eaten like 10 cookies tho.i just get frustrated at whatever it is that pised me off in the first place.usually my husband.then i think"why the hell am i losing weight for him?I'm not that much over weight?" so then i say f it and i get something to eat.feel bad about it and vow to go back to my diet in the morning.lol.
now.in a more general sense.people need endorphins when they are upset to make them feel better.some smoke to release these endorphins in the brain.some shop.some run or exercise.there are alot of things that do it.food,shopping,smoking,drugs,and drinking are the top ones i think.that's why we have debt,AA classes,halfway houses, nicorette gum,and the next best diet trick.lol

Sugar and chocolate release cause your body to release a hormone in your brain that reduce your level of stress, its all on a subconcious level. Chocolate activates the same areas of the brain as cocaine and can also be addicting.
Why do you think many women with PMS eat lots of chocolate? because it counters some of the homones released during that time. I forgot the name of the hormone I think its ceritonin but I am sure that you could find in on wikipedia or something.

It's stress & everyone handles stress differently.
If you don't eat, consider yourself lucky. But you do something that is a little out-of-the-norm to deal with it.
With the food, it somehow helps to comfort the person, so they tend to overeat, causing weight gain.
Yeah, they shouldn't do it, but there's alot of stuff that ppl do that they shouldn't. If it were so simple, there wouldn't be anything to talk about.

What makes you think men don't have similar problems?
When people eat food in such circumstances, the food is called comfort foods. Many popular comfort foods are:
Ice Cream
Popcorn
Mac and Cheese
THey just make you feel better.
What can you do about it?
People are very complex.
