Do you gain or lose weight in stressful times?

I never really looked. I bet I didn't lose/gain weight.

I completely lose my appetite during high-stress situations, so I always drop a few pounds I don't really need to.

Sorry about your brother!

My weight doesn't fluctuate, but I haven't been through anything TOO stressful

It depends. Either I lose my appetite or I pig out on food.

Having lost a close family member a few years ago, I empathize.

I used to always gain weight in times of stress, but I learned to "workout my feelings" instead of eating them and now I tend to stay about the same. Meditation has helped me, too.

Stays the same. I don't stop eating or start inhaling food when I'm stressed out. I sleep.

When stressed, I GAIN.
If I'm going through a REALLY bad time, and I get depressed, I lose weight, because I basically get so sick to my stomach I can't eat.
If I ever get stress free (like for a couple weeks during the beginning of the year! Haven't been that relaxed since :/ ) I actually LOST weight, without any dieting or exercise.
Stress is a terrible thing

I usually gain a bit of weight when stressed. I lose it when I am excited or doing something new. But I have lost weight due to stress, as well.
