Do You Think That Eating Can Be An Addiction?

Food and eating are very much addictions. You can find a wealth of information over the internet at different eating disorder sites. Help is available and I strongly encourage you to do some web searching on this one. Peace of mind and body can be had...

Yes, there is. Studies show that eating excessively can lead to obesity. Try to control your eating habits specially if you start eating even if you are NOT hungry. In the long run, you might end up getting sick.

probably not. much like you smoke because it contains nicotine addiction, you are not addicted to smoking, you are addicted to nicotine. so unless you find that you keep eating the same kind of thing at certain time or frequency, then it's not addiction. it's just that you are bored, nothing to do and if you are busy or stressed out you won't have time to eat or even think about it. you already said you love food, so that's why you eat. that's what I think.

I think that it is possible for just about anything to become an addiction. I too find myself munching when I am not hungry. I am not sure that it would qualify as an addiction. Yet anyway. If it is all of the time that you are eating when you are not hungry then it would be called Complusive overeating. It usually manifests as a coping mechanism, but also extends to just eating out of boredom or because food is a "companion." If you really do think it is serious in some areas there are groups called over eaters anonymous that can help or go see a doctor.

Over eating is already one of the many addictions out there. An addiction is where someone takes an abundance of something to the extreme. And to the point where they can no longer stop or have control over themselves. I think a lot of people over eat, but believe me you'll know when you have an addiction. And I'm sure that those around you will let you know.

I well, im no expert on the subject of addiction but i think there's a such thing as tress eating and sometimes we over eat when were stressed, and nervous and i once saw this documentary on eating and the show said that sometimes if there's a chemical imbalance's in the brain it can make a person over eat, but anyway i love food and i think everyone can it a little carried away once an a wile i sometimes eat when im not hunger to, but im not sure about eating addiction.
