Just wanted to update you on some more info I found out today through Dr. Amen's "Change Your Brain, Change Your Body". As it turns out, food hits the same feel good receptors in the brain as morphine and heroin. If someone has an addictive personality, ADD, depression, or history of addictions in their family (smoking, alcoholism, drugs, etc), then it's easy to see why food could be a problem.
