Food addicted people cannot resist an extra portion of food, frequent snacks, etc. The feeling of fullness comes, but the person does not feel it.
Food addiction is manifested in the fact that a person eats even when he is full. He is sad, upset, anxious - food (most often sweets, chocolate, pastries) brings spiritual relief, but it does great harm to the body.
This behavior is associated with early childhood, when the sucking reflex brought relaxation. So, as an adult, many people, watching TV, do not notice how they crush cookies and sweets. Or chewing gum. Sometimes you can see a person chewing a tie or sucking a finger. At the same time, the previously lost dependence on the pacifier or thumb sucking is unconsciously reproduced.
