How to stop this cycle of exam stress = emotional eat = feel worse = deprive = binge eat = more stress/depressed = lose sleep = weight gain. Happens summer every exam season. Sick and tired of it.. after the exams i work hard to get back in shape and improve my health, only for it all to repeat again the next year. It's either health or education..on the verge of giving up both and just turning into a hermit....
