The science behind stress eating

A new study explores why we reach for chocolate instead of an apple when we're under pressure. Dr. Tara Narula joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the findings.

there should be more talks about emotional eating as a medical disorder, because so many people are suffering from it without even knowing it///

I can’t stop myself when I am stressed everything needs to be eaten this goes from yoghurt to chocolate, dry bread, probably a whole pack of cookies, ice cream it really is an issue

Whenever I am severely stressed I always take like a 6 hour nap and eat junk food, I go through mood swings too

"I deserve this because I just endured that/am enduring that." I think that's been my comfort since I was a child. I noticed it happen just today. I'm now actively trying to fix it.

This is the very reason I'm overweight right now and have always struggled with weight. As a kid I was always stressed and never really felt safe and I was very emotional as a kid and shunned for having feeling things. Food was the only comfort I really had that made me feel safe but then the stress would come back. Now that I'm an adult and in my own place I have more control over what I eat and I'm a vegetarian now.

These days I struggled with stress and anxiety, last night I've been stress eating snacks the whole night to make me feel better & relieve from my stress & anxiety.

When I’m bored or not stimulated by social interactions I eat :-/ I used to live in Vegas and that fast lifestyle had me fit but not happy. It’s crazy how eating fills a void that said missing

[pickelsandnickels]

I’m under a lot of pressure from school and parents and I noticed I started to eat more junk food and a lot more food in general and have put on about 5lbs. It’s annoying but I don’t have the will to care right now

It's so interesting, l think most food itself is a drug (bad processed foods). If people realize that the bad food is part of the stress, they can avoid it but it's a commitment just like say quitting smoking....hate to be harsh but it's the truth.

I'm going through with same thing.
I know how terrible it is ... And she is right you just chose sweet or unhealthy foods even you don't like them before

Pause at 2:32 - The stress on my face when I am trying not to stress eat.

[Ehsidorah]

Unfortunately I can't remove these temptations because I live with my parents who eat what I am trying to avoid

[kadambaritamilarasan]

Whenever I'm stressed idk what I eat at all😳 and then worry about my obesity😶 I workout daily but the reason I'm showing less result is my stress eating habits😑 I would be happy if someone told me how to control them

What age are these men? What are their jobs? Are they single or married? Do the men have child/children? Many reasons for a person to be stressed.
