Compulsive overeating is very
serious and has an impact on both physical and mental health. Left untreated,
compulsive overeating can lead to severe medical problems including high
cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, obesity
and depression.
What is Compulsive Overeating?
Compulsive overeating can affect women or men, though it appears twice
as often among women. People with compulsive overeating disorder suffer
from episodes of uncontrolled eating or bingeing followed by periods of
guilt and depression. Compulsive overeating is marked by the consumption
of large amounts of food, sometimes accompanied by a pressured, "frenzied"
feeling. Compulsive overeating disorder may cause a person to continue
to eat even after she becomes uncomfortably full.

disorder may exhibit one, all, or any combination of these warning signs.

Compulsive eaters are people whose hands or minds move toward food when
they are not at all hungry. Compulsive eating has nothing to do with the
size of your body. Compulsive eaters come in all shapes and sizes. Compulsive
eating has to do with how many hours you spend preoccupied with thoughts
about what you are eating and what you look like. Compulsive eating may
seem self-destructive, but it is always an attempt at self-help.
Diets may not always solve eating and weight problems. Diets have been known
to cause compulsive eating.

sake of eating, but indeed you will eat healthily and regularly.
