If you’re a compulsive eater, you know that eating isn’t just about satisfying your hunger… It goes way beyond that.
Compulsive eating is classified by frequent episodes of uncontrollable eating. When you suffer from compulsive eating, you cannot think about anything else but food.
Thinking about what you’re going to eat, how much you’re going to eat, or when you’re going to eat next gets in the way of everything… You can’t get any work done, you can’t enjoy an afternoon with your kids, and you can’t spend a quality evening with your significant other. It’s like being a prisoner!
And, when it comes to compulsive eating, you can’t stop yourself from doing it. You know it isn’t normal, but you just can’t control yourself. Making things worse, you always feel guilty after an episode of compulsive eating.
If friends or family members know about your problem, they may tell you things like, “Just control your portions.” Unfortunately, though, that’s like telling an anorexic to “Just eat.” The problem is not nearly that simple.
Willpower isn’t enough to combat compulsive eating. You cannot will it away any better than you can will away the flu. Compulsive eating is a real illness, and to treat it, you need real professional help.
Forget the “gurus” who say they have a miracle treatment. To truly overcome your compulsive eating disorder, you need to attack the root of the problem.
