The biggest problem i had was anxiety and loss of appetite. Gambling seemed very enjoyable at first. Even if i lost money, i could make up for it. But as my earnings grew, stress, anxiety and loss of appetite increased at the same rate. As i suffered great losses, i became anti-social. I started not meeting with people around me. I hit rock bottom as i tried to make up for recurring losses. I don't think this is the end of the situation. So do it in a fun way. If you're going to take risks take risks with small balances. Don't get caught up in this business.
Yes, many people lose the appetite during stress on the other hand some people eat so much during stress. They gain weight during stress and anxiety.
I am the one who become fat during stress. I am okie during normal day - but stress brings in so much trouble with the weight gain.
What happens is that people have different responses to the same stimulus, personally I am the opposite I lose my appetite and I lose a lot of weight as well when I am stressed out, however it is not easy to see that I am under such stress so most people would never imagine what I go through since I prefer to keep a poker face under those circumstances, however that is the way I go through things, and I know many people that are like you and gain weight when they are stressed or nervous about some event in their lives.
