Overeating - is it an eating disorder or are you just greedy?

If you can't control what you eat and no matter how much energy you put into dieting or cuting down, you always end up on a binge - eating the very things you're trying to avoid - are you just weak, greedy and lacking in willpower or do you have a clinical eating disorder?

The general opinion seems to be that you're weak and greedy and lacking in willpower. That you don't care about what you look like or you're rebelling against the current pressure to be thin by sticking two fingers up at the establishment and stuffing yourself with fried chicken and donuts.

That's why you're bombarded with diet advice, told what and how much to eat and provided with ceaseless examples of pure and good ways of feeding your body and shown exactly what type of body you should aspire to look like.

The truth, though, is that compulsive overeating is as much an eating disorder as bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa and, although it is not recognised as such by the popular media, compulsive overeating kills more people than bulimia and anorexia put together.

Despite this, while anorexics and bulimics are given the benefit of the doubt and their illnesses taken seriously overeaters are led to believe that their eating disorder is their fault and that they only need to learn how to stick to a diet and they will be cured.

You know personally how much energy you've put into trying to stop yourself from overeating and you know the shadow it casts over your life. No amount of willpower or dieting to lose weight is going to stop the psychological compulsion to overeat.

You have to stop listening to the weight-loss advice you're being bombarded with and learn to deal with the actual problem itself - compulsive overeating.

The Food Philosophy is the very first programme that will show you a way to literally switch off the drive to overeat - and all you have to do is change your thinking.

I have discovered a way to shut off the drive to over-eat. Stop eating, and then you won't want to eat anyway, because your stomach is so constricted that it can't take any food. All it takes is a bit of willpower, a lot of willpower concentrated over a few days, and then you're good for some time. The longest I have gone without eating has been 7 days and 6 hours. After that point it's hard just to get an apple or slice of bread down.

Dear BDT,
What you describe here sounds like the beginnings of a serious eating disorder and you should get help.

The mortality rate for anorexia is extremely high and you are at risk if what you say is true.

I do hope you stop doing this and seek medical advice.
