Yes! stress is a huge factor. Actually stress can make you GAIN weight, as well as other unhealthy things (IE: lowering sperm count in males, or stopping a females menstraul cycle. Also headaches, and more chances of stroke, brain aneurysms(SP?)
EDIT:
Whether you eat more or not under stress, it is still capable of making you gain weight. There are websites on it, if i find one i will post it for you.

Oh yea.
My advice: Do whatever possible to cut back on stress. Whenever I'd get really stressed for a long period of time, whether I changed my eating/exercise routine or not, I'd still gain weight. It supposedly has something to do with your body making more cortisol...I think it's a marketing ploy for diet pills myself. But, my point: relax.

Stress releases some hormones, such as cortisol, which prevent weight loss, and stress is a big factor in "emotional eating" which causes weight gain
