People of all sizes ask me, "Why can't I stop overeating and stick to a diet?" *pix Your continual overeating can feel like you are lost in the jungle with no path out.
It's an especially poignant question when the person is overweight or obese. She's often dealing with cultural weight stigma, wants to lose weight for her health, her appearance or even her job security. Still she continues to eat more than her body needs for nourishment. Not only does she maintain her weight, she may be constantly gaining.
If you are asking yourself why you overeat, perhaps some of these possibilities will help you understand your situation and give you hope.
Intermittent Fasting
If you want to address your weight, before you focus on the mirror, diet or exercise, try developing a healthy and consistent sleep routine.
