Overeating?

Question

What happens inside your body when you consume large quanitites of food?

If I eat while watching a TV program or don't eat slow enough or don't enjoy it, I find I can eat as much as 2,000 calories in one sitting (which is hard to beleive for my size). But my weight has gone up from 85 pounds (I didn't realize how thin I was at the time!) to 130. Of course I got taller within those 4 years, but its a lot of weight all at once!

I have done a lot of research and can confidently say I know almost everything one must know to lose weight effortlessly.

But I have one question, one which the answer might gross me out enough to not do so in the future, and that is what are the direct side effects in your digestive system and your chemical levels when you suddenly put a large bulk amount of food and a lot of calories in your digestive track rather than eating small portions of healthy, calorie rich foods?

I can't seem to find the answer online! Help me out. Thanks!

I also just want to point out that binging happens very rarely for me, just in times of high-stress. I'm looking for more of an understanding of the physical and psycological changes the body encounters when one loses control of their eating. (I eat about 1500 calories a day, and I already know overeating makes you overweight. Lol)

Answer 1

Your stomach gets stretched rapidly so it's harder to get full. your liver is worked overtime and gets larger because all the chemicals and toxins from all the food you eat.

Answer 2

You are grossly overeating and in the process doing harm to your body and if you aren't obese yet,you will be.
