Does anyone know if stress and/or tiredness can lead to weight loss?
I've been losing weight lately (six pound altogether) and at first I was trying; I minimised chocolate and carbonated drinks to ease my IBS pains. But ever since my body got used to that and the pains returned, I've been gradually increasing the amount of chocolate etc. I'm having. I'm not at the amount I used to usually eat each week however; it's a bit less (say not every day).
I'm not doing any extra exercise apart from walking around college as normal, walking to work. Since the darker evenings set in, I've been getting a lift home from work from my father, so that's even less walking.
But I'm still losing weight. I'm fine with it; in fact I wouldn't mind losing a bit more, but I was just wondering whether tiredness (because I am EXTREMELY tired) or stress can lead to gradual weight loss?
EDIT: I should tell you that it's been the past three weeks that I haven't *tried* to lose weight, simply because the dietry changes for my IBS wasn't working. So for the past three weeks I've lost about...four, five pounds. Six altogether overall.
Cheers
