What is it?
Compulsive overeating is another disorder just like bulimia where the person is addicted to food and constantly overeating. Subsequently, they do not stop eating even when they are full. Again, just like bulimia, they feel the same guilt and low self esteem from overeating but do not act on those feelings and do not throw up.
What are the causes?
Most of the people that suffer from overeating are using food to hide form their emotions and to cope with stress. This way of coping however tends to go in a downward circle. People overeat from stress, but then get stressed again from being overweight.
Symptoms of Overeating
Consuming large amounts of food, eating very quickly, eating even when uncomfortably full, and eating alone.
Compulsive overeating is in fact a disorder; however, when seeking help, it can be cured pretty quickly.
