The Overeater and their Relationship with FoodOvereater is a term used to describe a person who eats more than the recommended portion of food at any given meal or the total amount of calories recommended for their body mass index. Everyone overeats from time to time, but an overeater does not have control over his or her eating habits. An overeater often eats when he or she is not hungry, eats alone or constantly “nibbles” on food.

Compulsive OvereaterIn clinical terms, an “overeater” also is called a compulsive overeater. The American Psychological Association cites compulsive overeating as the most common eating disorder in the United States, with as many as 4 million adults suffering from the disorder.

A binge eater and an overeater are often considered to be one in the same, although binge-eating disorder is distinct in the person’s loss of control during an episode of binging, eating extremely large quantities of food in one setting, often alone or in secret. A binge eater’s lack of control over the binge episode gives way to guilt over the behavior. Binge eating within the eating disorder bulimia nervosa will then cause the binge eater to purge the food just consumed during the binge. For overeaters, the overeating is constant, and there is no purge at the end of overeating. Because of this, many people considered to be an overeater are overweight or obese. Depression and OvereatersFor overeaters, depression can play a large role in the cyclical nature of the disorder. Studies have linked low self-esteem with all eating disorders, but science has not yet determined if signs and symptoms of depression lead to development of the disorder, or if depression is a result of becoming an overeater.
