Hi, having compulsive eating disorder means that she has problems with dealing with emotions. Actually, she eats as a way to hide from her emotions. People use food to fill a void they feel inside, and to manage to deal with daily stresses. Usually, these are overweighed individuals. Words like, "just go on a diet" are not worth for them since they are aware of the problem. Many health problems may arise from this disorder, such as heart attack, high blood-pressure and cholesterol, kidney failure. Generally, they have very low self-esteem.
