The effects of overeating extend far beyond the health risks of obesity and disease. Overeating often, but not always, leads to obesity, which can put you at risk for:
diabetes
heart disease
arthritis
cancer
other health problems
Overeating can also lead to acne, hair loss due to vitamin deficiency, and other cosmetic problems that may effect your self esteem and social life.
In the short term, overeating can cause:
nausea
feelings of heaviness and fatigue
headaches
insomnia
moodiness
shortness of breath
chest pains
Using food to feed emotional needs doesn't solve your emotional problems. In fact, it can make them worse. Emotional eating might make you feel better in the short term, but in the long term it keeps you from meeting your emotional needs. Emotional eating only increases feelings of defeat and depression.
Overeating can damage your relationships; it can effect your self esteem, making it more difficult to form intimate connections and develop or maintain social skills. Furthermore, if you have children, they'll learn to overeat themselves by watching you, and this can cause problems with overeating and obesity for them.
