I have a habit of binge eating or not quitting when my body says that’s enough food. Today I decided to do a little research on overeating. So let’s chat. 


What is overeating?

What are the signs of overeating?

**Eating beyond the point of being full.


**Finding yourself mindlessly eating because you're bored or distracted.


**Experiencing physical symptoms after eating, including nausea, abdominal discomfort, gas, bloating or heartburn
