Have you ever feel need of stress eating?Share your experience

Since work had intensity, deadlines, and priorities, by night’s end, I would have a sinking feeling in the middle of my chest accompanied by a list of outstanding matters running in my head. Frequently I would stroll into the kitchen, as one would into a café called “Eat & Chill”, in quest of a cup of chai or a plate of cheesy fries. When that first taste reached my lips or tongue, I’m sure I would feel something that resembled relief for but a moment. Tastes and sensations would anchor me, and give me a brief respite from the storm inside the skull.

As much as it makes me feel relieved in the current moment, I think I would realize later on that this behavior is not doing me any favor. If only once or twice, do you occasionally feel like this when you stress eat?
