So what are YOU stress eating???

[Neist]

Tonight's menu consists of two fried eggs, a bagel, and a very, very large glass of pink gin.

Mmm. Pink gin.

I'm an admitted lush.

Good to hear! I even have the poverty lifestyle down. I'm drinking Taaka. It's 7 dollars per liter.

funyuns. lots of funyuns

...I bought nine bags of half off candy at the store the day after Halloween and it's almost all gone now. I'm an adult, promise.

I don't suffer from stress-eating, however....... stress-shopping.

I'm constantly scowering online stores, looking at clothes, jewelry, makeup. I have only ordered twice so far (both for birthdays - ok ok one is my own birthday), but I know I'm playing a dangerous game here

Update: grapes!

(they're fermented. it's actually wine. often with bendy straws. It's fine.)

@Bugaboo, Solid life choice. I might drink some now.

I'm stress eating cookies. I bake two or three a night and browse gradcafe. Why is this so stressful?!

[rosali]

@bugabooo An old roommate of mine and I used to drink cheap wine with crazy straws after finals! Either straight from the bottle, or from a mug, depending on how long the crazy straw was. Class.

I've had my girlfriend (bless her soul) making routine trips to McDonalds and Taco Bell for McDoubles and Mini Quesadillas. At this point, I'm hoping I explode before the rejections get to me.

I almost don't eat. I mean, I do, but I don't feel food; don't enjoy food. I know that one of my top choices is going to decide next week. Would you it in this situation?!

You should check out the colour pop lipsticks! They're only $6 each and free shipping if you spend over $30. It's my stress-obsession

Drown my fears in cheap booze?

That's what I'd probably do.

Just bought a tablet and a bunch of books. It's a disease.

I just made the best chicken alfredo (with GF noodles)...it's basically just butter and cream, but that fatty goodness really is appreciated right now.

I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm watching what I eat.  But when I do stress-eat, it's typically pasta with homemade sauce with a healthy side of wine.

[CornUltimatum]

I wasn't stress eating for this past month... that is until girl scout cookie season started. My SO got 5 boxes of sweet, sweet goodness.

I need to find a Girl Scout. Some thin mints would help ease the stress, right?

What's your favorite kind?

Thinmints of course! We had three boxes of those.

So jealous @CornUltimatum

Chocolate ice cream.  Straight from the container.

An absurd amount of cheese. Oh, and whiskey. We'll get through this.

I stress shop, too. It's really bas because I just quit my retail job recently because I was hired to help with a cool research project. This is my first weekend where I have things to do, but don't have to be anywhere to do them, so I'm doing probably six months of laundry. (Over the past six months I've done a load per week, but worn more than a load of clothes per week.) I am currently horrified at the amount of clothing I purchased while working at a cute boutique. O.o

[Nicole Gilbert]

Yeah, I am stress shopping, too. I like to tell myself that I am buying clothes because it is necessary--I'm going into a new phase of life with grad school, etc. Complete justification. 

[pterosaur]

I bought a fountain pen while stress shopping.

For stress-eating, my go-to has become Bourbon biscuits (basically just British chocolate sandwich cookies). But for some cruel reason, the grocery has been out of them for a WHOLE WEEK. I don't know what to do with myself.
