Hi Yrgrec - this has happened to me a couple times where I didn't get any response at all. I try in my logical mind not to let it bother me, but I ended up chickening out and asked a moderator to delete my lonely thread lol...so it does happen sometimes. There's also some forums that don't get too much traffic and that could be the reason. I don't think you committed a faux pas at all.

To answer your topic - many people are emotional eaters. Personally when I'm very upset I don't always eat enough but its not on purpose. Its good to recognize this connection so you can learn to resist the urge.
