Post-Stress Overeating	comment	People do things that help them lower stress and try to forget after a hard day. Sometimes people try to drink their problems away. Others try to eat their body weight in ice cream. This type of behavior is a fairly common coping mechanism in both fiction and Real Life. This usually takes place after a fight with a loved one or some other type of high-level emotional distress, usually while lamenting about who or what is bothering them. Compare Heartbreak and Ice Cream, Comfort Food, and the alcoholic equivalent Drowning My Sorrows. Many of these characters experience Weight Woe due to this. It also may lead to Formerly Fit. Contrast Too Unhappy to Be Hungry, where distress leads a character to not eat.

Post-Stress Overeating / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica Kyoko goes off on a binge after she loses an argument with Sayaka. In a variant of this, it's also implied that her Big Eater tendencies are a coping mechanism for her Dark and Troubled Past; namely, her family starving after her priest father got excommunicated, and later his killing the rest of her family and himself after finding out about Kyoko's contract. Later, she scarfs down a huge amount of food when trying to figure out if she can recover Sayaka's Soul Gem after she becomes a witch.

Before the series, he had gained weight after the death of his wife and daughter but had lost a lot of weight with the help of Walter, but he reaches for junk food when dealing with emotions. This is especially evident in "The Conversation" where the gang is helping a family that reminds Leo of his own family. Leo at first denies that what he is eating is connected to his emotions.

This leads to Thanos killing half of all life in the universe.

After it is revealed that Thanos destroyed the Stones and with them all hope to reverse the snap, Thor passes the Despair Event Horizon, and when we see him again after a five-year time jump, it's made abundantly clear from how his house in New Asgard is littered with discarded wings, pizza boxes, and snack wrappers that he's been eating way too much junk food.
