pretty much the more i stay in fight or flight the more
likely i will eat to relieve the stress and this in turn , if this is
the right word, evokes the Neuroendrocrine cell to respond to the fight
of flight. the importance of this cell is that it is The major center of
neuroendocrine integration in the body is found in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland
which is altered or changed due to estrogen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

'Fight or flee' -- or chow down
While this system works fine when our stress comes in the form of physical danger -- when we really need to "fight or flee", and then replenish -- it doesn't serve the same purpose for today's garden-variety stressors."Often, our response to stress today is to sit and stew in our frustration and anger, without expending any of the calories or food stores that we would if we were physically fighting our way out of stress or danger," says Shawn Talbott, PhD, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of Utah and author of The Cortisol Connection.
"Often, eating becomes the activity that relieves the stress"
