Yep, I can't eat under stress, either. Never could. I can empathize with
folks who eat under stress, but I don't/can't do it. Heck, I drink a glass
of water and immediately throw it up (and not on purpose). My husband
thinks that my weirdness (in his opinion) is contageous because he's getting
the same way - and this is from a man who loves to eat and drink beer!
