I'd like to reflect a bit on your notice how stress relates to weight gain. In my personal case I noticed a while ago that "usual" day-to-day stress in the office or at home indeed increases my willingness to eat more. But! The extreme stress, like falling in love or really deep shit at work make my feeling of hunger disappear. Last two month I have one of these situations and I lost almost 30 pounds (I'm obese person, my "normal" weight is 230 pounds). My food preference have changed - instead of high-carb I switched to carbs only at breakfast, low fat at lunch and dinner food, almost unconciosly. Though as my life gets back to normal now, I feel that the hunger creeps back and maybe adding some fat to my meals would help to keep from the spiralling downward into usual high-carb diet.
