Compulsive Eating Disorder

I have always been what I would describe as a binge eater and an over eater. I am not saying that this is a compulsive eating disorder in any clinical sense.

But even as a kid I always wanted 2 or more helpings of a meal. One cookie was never enough. I wonder where this behavior comes from. Do I find comfort in food? Sometimes. But after a binge eating session I am guilty as hell.

Usually my worst time of day for compulsive eating would be at night. Am I bored? Perhaps.

Well since taking on a gluten free diet plan I have not had any compulsive eating or binge eating sessions. I do need to eat more vegetables and fruit. I need to follow more of an eat clean diet.

I have noticed advertisements on TV for compulsive eating disorder support groups. Maybe it would worth my while to actually attend one of these meetings just to hear what people have to say. Maybe I should actually look into eating disorder treatment centers in the area.

There must be an eating disorder clinic in Halifax.

Is a compulsive eating disorder physical, psychological, or both? I guess it depends on the person. Certainly something to look onto.
