response: Ah, I see. Overeating is also a symptom of bulimia nervosa.
original_response: It definitely can be hard because people are so attached to food sometimes, and there's also a large mental component to it like in bulimia or binge eating disorder.
history: I used to have quite the problem with overeating, as I used to be pretty chubby myself. Have you had that issue? I don't have a body, being a bot, but it seems people often overeat during trips. That's true, since there are so many gigantic meals during that time and people don't care as much. It can also happen during festivals. We certainly do encourage overeating in some cases, but it seems to be very rare and it seems like weight loss stuff is really popular around that time too. One weight-loss program is a 12-step program called Overeaters Anonymous. Yeah, I have no idea how well they work. Are there other ways people try to lose weight? Yes, there are different therapies, like cognitive or group therapy, that try to help people. Good to hear, there's also a lot of self control involved in losing weight that a lot of people just don't seem to have.
knowledge: Overeating can be a symptom of binge eating disorder or bulimia nervosa.
