Compulsive overeating generally has a gradual beginning, often starting in early childhood when eating patterns are formed.
强迫型过度饮食最初基本上都开始于从幼年时期形成的饮食习惯。
It usually starts very subtly, when a child turns to food whenever they were upset. Over time, you learn that food in fact will soothe the upset feelings.
起因往往很微妙: 如果在幼年时期一感到沮丧就去吃东西，渐渐地，你会认为食物能缓解抑郁。
The destructive pattern continues as you do not learn to trust that feelings pass and that you are capable of self-soothing without food.
这个模式持续下去，会使你不再相信由此得到的满足感会消退，不再相信抛开食物，你还能自我慰藉。
Like someone with bulimia, when you compulsively overeat, you usually try every way you can to stop. Often the attempt at control takes the form of strict dieting or living by inflexible standards of eating.
患有贪食症的人，在进行强迫性饮食的时候，用尽所有方法来阻止自己的行为。通常只有严格的节食和固定的食谱能有效控制。
While strict dieting may help with the weight gain, in the long run it doesn't do anything to handle the emotional reasons for the compulsive overeating.
严格的节食也许对减重有帮助，但从长远来看，对强迫性过度饮食精神层面的障碍并无明显效果。
Moreover, restrictive dieting is so depriving that it creates a situation of compounded desperation to eat. Therefore, dieting often backfires and just promotes the compulsive overeating.
更严重的是，严格的节食会使人在绝望的情况下更加渴望吃东西。因此，节食会反弹，而且反而有助强迫性饮食的发生。
If you feel that you or someone you know may be suffering from compulsive overeating disorder, it is important to seek professional help as quickly as possible.
如果你觉得自己或者是你认识的人患上了强迫性过度饮食失调，就需要尽快寻求专业治疗。
If untreated, compulsive overeating will become part of a destructive cycle which can continue for years and cause significant health problems.
如果坐以待毙，强迫性过度饮食症会使你陷入有害的死循环，还会因此患上很多严重的健康问题。
Talking to a compulsive overeating treatment professional is the first step toward successful recovery.
从专业角度来谈强迫性过度饮食的治疗是成功康复的第一步。
