Compulsive overeating generally has a gradual beginning, often starting in early childhood when eating patterns are formed.
強迫型過度飲食最初基本上都開始于從幼年時期形成的飲食習慣。
It usually starts very subtly, when a child turns to food whenever they were upset. Over time, you learn that food in fact will soothe the upset feelings.
起因往往很微妙: 如果在幼年時期一感到沮喪就去吃東西,漸漸地,你會認為食物能緩解抑郁。
The destructive pattern continues as you do not learn to trust that feelings pass and that you are capable of self-soothing without food.
這個模式持續下去,會使你不再相信由此得到的滿足感會消退,不再相信拋開食物,你還能自我慰藉。
Like someone with bulimia, when you compulsively overeat, you usually try every way you can to stop. Often the attempt at control takes the form of strict dieting or living by inflexible standards of eating.
患有貪食癥的人,在進行強迫性飲食的時候,用盡所有方法來阻止自己的行為。通常只有嚴格的節食和固定的食譜能有效控制。
While strict dieting may help with the weight gain, in the long run it doesn't do anything to handle the emotional reasons for the compulsive overeating.
嚴格的節食也許對減重有幫助,但從長遠來看,對強迫性過度飲食精神層面的障礙并無明顯效果。
Moreover, restrictive dieting is so depriving that it creates a situation of compounded desperation to eat. Therefore, dieting often backfires and just promotes the compulsive overeating.
更嚴重的是,嚴格的節食會使人在絕望的情況下更加渴望吃東西。因此,節食會反彈,而且反而有助強迫性飲食的發生。
If you feel that you or someone you know may be suffering from compulsive overeating disorder, it is important to seek professional help as quickly as possible.

如果坐以待斃,強迫性過度飲食癥會使你陷入有害的死循環,還會因此患上很多嚴重的健康問題。
