Is it normal to feel like binging all the time even if you're not hungry?

Answer 1

Many people report that anger, sadness, boredom, anxiety or other negative emotions can trigger a binge episode. Impulsive behavior and certain other psychological problems may be more common in people with binge eating disorder. Depression may be a factor as well as excessive dieting and hunger. If binge eating continues to be a problem, you should see a mental health professional. There are effective treatments for compulsive overeating. You may not produce enough of the chemical in your gut signalling fullness after you eat. Try eating normal meals, slowly and not eating between meals so that when you do sit down to eat you are actively hungry. If you snack a lot, eat huge portions or eat when you aren't hungry your bady may stop making as much of the chemical that tells you when you are full. You may also make too much ghrelin, a chemical that tells you "Eat!" Talk to you doctor about feeling like eating voraciously even when you aren't hungry and he may be able to help you figure out if this is all in your head or in your hormones. :) *Other things like drug abuse may also be a factor. In any case, see your GP. They may refer you to a specialist or counsellor.
