Eating too much is common to the mentally ill. I think it's because

Mentally ill can feel similar to an empty stomach. At least it does for me. A kind of hazy emptiness.

I eat as a form of comfort. When I was very ill, any time i had a craving for anything I would satisfy it immediately. I figured my life was so full of suffering i deserved any little thing that could bring me happiness, however fleeting it may be.

But my life is not like that now and the habit of giving into every craving I have no longer serves me. I am trying to change it.
