I have a history of eating disorders, one being bulimia where I would binge on large amounts of high fat and sugar foods in one sitting. I never gained more than a few lbs because I threw it up. But food absolutely can be an addiction. Eating these yummy foods releases endorphins in the brain. The feel good chemical. I also have body dysmorphic disorder. My binging/purging has decreased a lot and I started to eat normal and I've gained about 5lbs which puts me on the line between normal and underweight. I'm very uncomfortable with my new weight gain even though I'm healthier. You may want to check out the eating disorders sub forum here too. Good luck and I hope you get in control of your weight gain.
