Spending two weeks in the hospital might have caused me to gain weight. I haven’t been eating as much, but stress must be causing me to gain those unwanted pounds. I cannot imagine how not eating can make you gain weight, but I have read somewhere that when your body experiences stress, the neuro-endocrine system, the network of glands that produce and secrete hormones into our blood stream, releases the hormone cortisol that increases our appetite and energy levels.
