overeating is it an addiction? Do you eat, just to eat even if you are not hungry?

Yep, all the time. My greatest battle. I truly believe its an addiction for some of us.

@cat25buge yes i do believe that you are correct it can be almost anyones down falls in life the main factor is though are you eating out of bordem and if you know your not hungry then try your hardest to stop yourself from going in to that fridge i know from experience another thing you can do is burn cinnamon incense

It's just like any other drug. It triggers endorphins and a lot more.

UGH.... So frustrating. How do you deal with it?

Self control. Find other things to do instead of eating junk food. Find other ways to make yourself feel happy or comforted.

Self control is just a little part of my problem. I also stay very depressed and have a hard time getting up in the mornings. Any suggestions?

My trainer says if I plan on sleeping in to wake up and drink a protein shake and then go back to bed. Your body is still burning calories when you sleep and it is better to have a constant eating schedule then making up for the food you missed out on when you wake up. If that makes sense at all.
