Yes and very common: Often referred to as compulsive overeating, this is just as much a problem in your relationship with food as any other eating disorder. The least helpful approach is trying to diet which usually makes,things,worse. A therapist experienced in treating eating disorders can help you see the emotional component of your eating and help you to deal with your feelings more effectively.
