[00:00.08] Unit 76 What Is Compulsive Overeating? [00:05.24] Compulsive overeating is a health problem, which can affect women or men, though it appears twice as often among women. [00:13.44] In this serious eating disorder, a person eats a lot of food in a short amount of time. [00:20.11] This is called bingeing. [00:22.26] Compulsive overeaters often binge. [00:25.36] This can lead to serious medical problems, including obesity. [00:30.38] Obesity is related to serious medical problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, trouble breathing and sleep problems. [00:41.57] No one knows the exact cause of compulsive overeating. [00:46.06] Many compulsive overeaters use food for comfort. [00:50.17] Others binge to deal with stress. [00:53.07] Eating makes tem feel better, but only for a short time. [00:57.27] Usually compulsive overeaters feel guilty for eating so much, which makes them feel bad about themselves. [01:05.40] This leads to more stress, which leads to more overeating, and so on. [01:11.34] It becomes a pattern that is hard to stop. [01:15.05] Overeaters often feel their eating is out of control. [01:19.38] Compulsive overeaters also feel they are not in control of their emotions. [01:24.44] They have trouble dealing with feelings like anger, sadness, loneliness, guilt, and shame. [01:32.27] There are many warning signs which indicate that someone may be suffering from compulsive overeating disorder. [01:39.35] 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, [01:59.07] disgust, or guilt after eating; with a history of marked weight fluctuations. [02:06.59] Compulsive overeating generally has a gradual beginning, often starting in early childhood when eating patterns are formed. [02:15.34] It usually starts very subtly, when a child turns to food whenever they were upset. [02:21.55] Over time, you learn that food in fact will soothe the upset feelings. [02:27.40] The destructive pattern continues as you do not learn to trust that feelings pass and that you are capable of self soothing without food. [02:37.28] Like someone with bulimia, when you compulsively overeat, you usually try every way you can to stop. [02:45.53] Often the attempt at control takes the form of strict dieting or living by inflexible standards of eating. [02:53.41] While strict dieting may help with the weight gain, in the long run it does not do anything to handle the emotional reasons for the compulsive overeating. [03:04.36] Moreover, restrictive dieting is so depriving that it creates a situation of compounded desperation to eat. [03:12.51] Therefore, dieting often backfires and just promotes the compulsive overeating. [03:20.32] If you feel that you or someone you know may be suffering from compulsive overeating disorder, [03:26.47] it is important to seek professional help as quickly as possible. [03:31.12] If untreated, compulsive overeating will become part of a destructive cycle which can continue for years and cause significant health problems. [03:42.04] Talking to a compulsive overeating treatment professional is the first step toward successful recovery.
