Is it normal when i'm stressed i gain a lot of weight?

My life can be pretty high stress at some times and I've noticed that when I'm in a stressful period I just gain loads of weight yet when I'm more relaxed the weight just goes away.

When I'm stressed it is like I can't eat enough to stop being hungry whereas when I'm relaxed I can just forget to eat at all and only realize I'm ravenously hungry when I smell food.

    I lose weight when I'm unhappy or very stressed. But, it's just as normal the other way.

    Yeah. Totally normal man.
    Last week, I was watching American idol, and was really stressed about who was going to win.
    In like 45 minutes, I gained like 73 kgs. :(

      LMFAO! I don't follow that show but I saw on Fox 13 that the rocker guy with the long hair won. Good for him.
