Compulsive overeater, here.

5. Even if a sufferer does perceive a "problem",

there is a multi-billion dollar business for quick fixes. Diets are almost always unsuccessful. In my own history I repeatedly tried many diets, spent thousands, and nothing worked in the long term. 12-step recovery has brought me the only long-term answer. It's slow and has involved a few relapses along the way. The only thing I have done right is not leave the program. It's given me physical, emotional and spiritual recovery, and is an ongoing process. There just are no quick fixes to this problem.
