When do you reach for chocolate? Pleasure, pain, or both?

I am a chocoholic and eat chocolate every day. Often times I reach for a few bite size morsels after reviewing a really great chocolate recipe, but have also noticed that I need that "fix" after encountering news that sometimes is stressful or down right BAD. What about you? When do you hit the chocolate?

Food for a stressed student stomach?

I'm surely not the only one in the thick of exams around here. I definitely feel the stress in my stomach (and I do mean stomach, and not a euphemism for anything else). I know it's especially important to eat healthy and stay fueled during times like this, with many all-nighters and lots of pressure. Unfortunately, it's the only time I can honestly say that I lose my appetite. My stomach is in a knot, strong flavors are unappealing, and the simple act of eating is hard to do. I have another 8 days of this.

Any recommendations for friendly foods? What keeps you going when you're under the gun (and I don't mean coffee)?

Thanks in advance and sorry if I don't reply too much (preoccupied, obv'ly).
