Over-Eating

 Freedom from Overeating - Lose Weight Fast

This may seem like an excuse, but addiction to food is a real disorder and in addition to causing uncontrollable weight gain and weight related health issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease; having an addiction to food could be a mask for a greater underlying issue. Many people who struggle to lose weight and overeat also suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.  When diet and exercise are not enough, medical intervention maybe needed. Overeating is a sign of needing to have control over something, and talking to a professional could help.

 Medical help should be sought out immediately as these can greatly affect ones health.
