actually, stress tends to add weight, in the form of cortisol. the body turns more of whats eaten to fat, and sometimes it triggers the body to eat more, so the body can have that as energy when it faces the danger. Its a part of the "fight-or flight" reponse. now, if a person starves themself, or eats very little during stress, then they may lose weight.
Is it normal for her to break up with her boyfriend over this?
