Overeating

Overeating is the consumption of excess food in relation to the energy that an organism expends (or expels via excretion), leading to weight gaining and often obesity. It may be regarded as an eating disorder.

This term may also be used to refer to specific episodes of over-consumption. For example, many people overeat during festivals or while on holiday.

Overeating can sometimes be a symptom of binge eating disorder or bulimia.

Compulsive over eaters depend on food to comfort themselves when they are stressed, suffering bouts of depression, and have feelings of helplessness.

In a broader sense, hyperalimentation includes excessive food administration through other means than eating, e.g. through parenteral nutrition.

Treatment

Cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy, and group therapy are often beneficial in helping people keep track of their eating habits and changing the way they cope with difficult situations.

There are several 12-step programs that helps overeaters, such as Overeaters Anonymous or Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous and others. It is quite clear through research, and various studies that overeating causes addictive behaviors.

Upon These Dreams

by: Everything

This woman came to me upon this lonely night
A woman dresses in vestal white and red
She said "Your life is but a fleeting dream you know
Filled with the color of the living dead"
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
She laid me down upon a bloodied blade of grass
She said "Your mind is a burning cauldron son
Lay back relax, let me show you what I know
Answer all those questions of your lustful soul"
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
She says "I know you've been so lonely all your life
and that is why I'm here to take you home tonight
I know the last note that you sing is always first
I know your last note it is the best"
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Let me take you home tonight my darling in the dream
(??)
Let me take you home tonight upon this lonely dream
