Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003stress and NOT eating
Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress related NOT eating? I had a very stressful episode this morning that wiped me out for the entire day - never felt hungry at all, just nauseous and had a headache. When I finally forced myself to eat, it didn't agree with me and I got sick. Should I force myself to eat, or just let it ride? det Hi det, sorry you are having trouble. Hoping that it will pass. Do not force yourself to eat. i > Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress > related NOT eating?

Try to get fluids down, but your body will catch up with the food once you settle down. I'll email ya later. > Most of us have had stress-triggered eating.

Either that or try a meal replacement shake or something if you do those. The most important thing is to stay hydrated. Hope you feel better soon. Jenn I wouldn't force yourself to eat, especially large amounts or something heavy. If you fee like you "need" something, try something bland like scrambled eggs. There are people who deal with stress by not eating/not sleeping. I know people like this. From a person experience...I have yet to go through anything that stopped me from eating. I've been through some pretty nasty crap, and never missed a meal. I always sort of wished I were the type that could, but I get so jittery and shaky if I don't eat regularly. During times of great stress, I can and have eaten everything that jumped in my way. Don't force yourself, it will most likely pass in day or two. Make sure you drink enough water, and try to get some simple easily digested proteins to keep your strength up. I hope whatever is going on in your life gets better soon. Melissa 140/135/??? it used to be 120, but that was when I wasn't weight lifting and exercising regularly. I feel better right now at 135 than I ever felt at 120. > Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress > related NOT eating?

I can't say what the "right" thing to do is, but personally I eat what the amount my body wants on a stressed-out day. If I'm more hungry the next day, I'll eat a tad more, maybe make up for it. I never force myself to eat; I listen to (my mind) and my body. When one of my inlaws died, I ate very, very little for about a week while I was back East to attend the funeral. If you look at the big picture, it really didn't matter. I go with how I feel, not what I "think I ought to do." YMMV.

Things were the worst ever. Unfortunately, it lead to terrible eating habits, when I did eat. It also propelled anorexia and I was underweight. As long as it's a short term relatively rare occurence, I wouldn'r worry too much. If it is longer lasting, then it'll time to take action. Martha Sorry - can't work out who asked this.... >> >Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress >> >related NOT eating? The last two days - I had it in spades. My best friend's husband was admitted to hospital with a mental disorder related to his depression (against his will, taken by the police after threatening members of his Doctor's team). He is now locked in a secure ward and refusing to co-operate with the Doctors there. But - he IS now talking to my friend (his wife) and she says they have talked more in the last two days than for years. Now all we have to do is figure out how to get him out of there :) So - the last two days I have slept about 5 hours, driven nearly 400 miles on errands and dropping off friend's daughter at her grandparents. I have eaten about 1 meal's worth of food and drunk enough black coffee to float a small ship. My digestion must have shut down some because I just haven't wanted food. Today is calmer and I am back on fruit to start with. Not a WOE I would recommend - but I have lost another two pounds.....sheesh.

As you said this is no way to lose weight. Beverly I'm so sorry. I hope it works out. You are a good friend. Martha > Sorry - can't work out who asked this.... > >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > and letting me drop everything to go and help) > 274/250/224 (mini goal) Sorry to hear that. If you're nauseous don't force food. You might be catching something. Stress sometimes can cause immune system weakness - making you more likely to get sick. For me, I handle stress best by walking. > Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress > related NOT eating?

Have you tried to exercise to help reduce the stress?? -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > Most of us have had stress-triggered eating. How many of you have stress > related NOT eating? I had a very stressful episode this morning that wiped [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > det About 2 to 3 weeks ago I had a very stressful period in my life, and experienced not eatinf for the first time ever. It was awful, not eating feeling sick all the time and headaches from not sleeping. I tried to force my self to eat, just a little several times a day, it seemed to help, unfortunately my choices were not good. In 3 days I lost more than 2 kg, but geiningmost of it back. If it ever happens again, I think I would concentrated on drinking enough water and eating light easily digestable foods, may be soups. Hope your stress doesn't last long, take care of yourself Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland WW WI 69.8 / 63.1 / 61kg 134 lbs >Most of us have had stress-triggered eating.
