Simply put, compulsive overeating (or binge eating) is characterized by episodes of uncontrolled eating that are often followed by feelings of guilt and shame.

There are many signs that someone may be a compulsive overeater, including: fluctuations in weight, mood swings, periods of depression and guilt, eating large amounts of food even when not hungry or full, eating so much that it makes the person uncomfortable or eating very rapidly, almost in a state of frenzy.

There are now many support groups available for this condition, as well as, websites set up with information and ways to help someone who overeats, or how to help yourself and slowly stop eating so much if you are suffering from overeating yourself.
