fight of flight, estrogen and the research goes on

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.
this is like a big puzzle but my life is at stake. i am praying to god that i am smart enough to learn to my friends and god as i try to piece this all together before surgery. 
so my exercise has done exactly what i have shared with the both of you and that is enhanced my experience on estrogen.  but the combination of my life experiences in the real world via my speeches, blog and my work at xerox has .... what word can really describe what has happened to me in 3 short yrs. god has to be guiding us all because ... there have been way too many accidents over the last 3 yrs.

'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"
In other words, since your neuro-endocrine system doesn't know you didn't fight or flee, it still responds to stress with the hormonal signal to replenish nutritional stores -- which may make you feel hungry.
