Overeating
Eating is similar to other pleasurable behaviors like
sex and drug use which triggers the release of dopamine.
This is a neurotransmitter in the brain that makes you
feel good. Dopamine acts as a positive reinforcement
reward for eating, so every time you eat, dopamine
reinforces the behavior and eventually it becomes
habitual.
