This is a problem for many of us at some time during our lives. What are some of the things which can cause us to be compulsive eaters? Emotional causes, depression, stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, toxins held in the body, feelings of self doubt, boredom, and/or nutritional deficiences can fuel our cravings for more and more food.
