Overeating, which has become a national pastime for millions of Americans, has several roots. For example, parents who are concerned by whether their children get enough to eat during the growing years to overfeed them and thereby establish an overeating habit in their lifetime. The child who is constantly praised for cleaning his plate experiences a sort of gratification later on as he cleans all too many plates. The easy availability of so much food is a constant temptation for many people, especially the types of food served at fast food restaurants and merchandised in the frozen food departments of supermarkets. But many people don’t need temptation from the outside; their overeating arises from such psychological factors as nervousness, boredom, loneliness, insecurity, an overall discontent with life, or an aversion to exercise. Thus, overeating can actually be a symptom of psychological surrender to or withdrawal from, the complexities and competition of modern life.
