No one knows the exact cause of compulsive overeating.Many compulsive overeaters use food for comfort.Others binge to deal with stress.Eating makes them feel better，but only for a short time.Usually compulsive overeaters feel guilty for eating so much，which makes them feel bad about themselves.This leads to more stress，which leads to more overeating，and so on.They have trouble dealing with feelings like anger，sadness，loneliness，guilt，and shame. There are many warning signs which indicate that someone may be suffering from compulsive overeating disorder.They include: eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry；eating much more rapidly than normal；eating until the point of feeling uncomfortably full；often eating alone because of shame or embarrassment；suffering feelings of depression，disgust，or guilt after eating. Compulsive overeating generally has a gradual beginning，often starting in early childhood when eating patterns are formed.It usually starts very subtly，when a child turns to food whenever they were upset.Over time，you learn that food in fact will comfort the upset feelings.The destructive pattern continues as you do not learn to trust that you are capable of self－comforting without food. |
